BCCI doubles Indian players' test match fees
BCCI chief Anurag Thakur announced that the test match fees of Indian players will be doubled to make the format financially attractive. The cricketers were receiving ₹7 lakh for a Test, but will now earn ₹15 lakh. "If we need to keep the players' interest in Tests alive, we'll have to ensure that Test players are better paid," mentioned Thakur.
