The newly-elected BCCI President Sourav Ganguly suggested a ‘Contract System’ for first-class cricketers. Ganguly mentioned that his team has already started working on it.
“We will bring in a contract system for first-class cricketers. We will ask the new finance committee to prepare a contract system,” told Ganguly.
After he was announced as the sole BCCI president-elect nominee on Oct 14, Ganguly༒ hinted to focus on domestic🧜 cricket.
“It’s just been four-five days, and in between, there was a Diwali break. It will take about two weeks to assess everything and move forward. There is a lot of work going on,” he added.
The contract system will help to increase the remuneration of the domesti🧸c cricketers who are currently paid Rs 35,000 per day match fee for first-class games.
Within the first week of his appointment, Ganguly🌳 has been successful in organizing the first Day-N🔴ight Test match in India. For the pink-ball conte𓆏st, India will face B🍌angladesh at Eden Gardens from November 22-26.
