In a proposed three-tier gradation payment system, put forth by Indian skipper Virat Kohli and coach Anil Kumble to Committee of Administrators (CoA) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) — Test players will be earning the highest, followed by limited overs cricketers.
The idea, pitched forward in a joint session in Hyderabad by Kumble, with Kohli on Skype, detailed out the proposal which demanded a massive 150 per cent hike for the Grade A players, thus increasing the salary from INR 2 crore to INR 5 crore for one season. Sources close to the Times of India, mentioned that even Cheteshwar Pujara, who only features in Test matches, would be paid more owing to their gradation system. Speaking about Grade B and C players, well, they are paid INR 1 crore and INR 50 lakh respectively.
"Although Anil and Virat spoke separately, both stressed on the fact that performers in Test cricket should be kept in the highest bracket. Also there is someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who is not getting IPL contracts whereas someone like Pawan Negi, who doesn't even play Ranji Trophy gets Rs 8.5 crore for 45 days. That's something that needs to be worked out," a senior BCCI source in the know of things told PTI.
