In a much-appreciated move, BCCI has doubled the match fees and the daily allowance for curators, umpires, match referees, scorers and video analysts. The decision was taken after recommendation by former India keeper Saba Karim, which was approved by Committee of Administrators.
The Committee of Administrators in charge of BCCI has given approval to a 100 percent hike in match fees and daily allowance for curators, umpires, match referees, scorers and video analysts for the first time since 2012. As per the new hike, the top 20 umpires who are in charge of senior men’s tournaments will now receive Rs 40,000 per day for non-T20 matches, which is a 100 percent rise from their previous package. They would also receive Rs 20,000 for T20 matches, reported by Indian Express.
The rest of the umpires in junior and women’s cricket will receive Rs 30,000 per day as match fee. As per reports, the CoA has also decided to extend the contracts of National Cricket Academy coaches WV Raman and Narendra Hirwani by three months and advised the BCCI to conduct a process to seek fresh applications for posts where contracts are expiring. Both Raman and Hirwani will be automatic entrants.
Among other notable things, the CoA has decided to increase the fees of curators. The five zonal curators and assistant curators, who were drawing Rs 6 lakh and Rs 4.2 lakh per annum, will get double the amounts from the upcoming season. The CoA has also stated that the number of curators are very low considering the number of venues and matches per a season and directed the BCCI to increase this number. The CoA has decided not to appoint a General Manager (marketing, communication and digital) after the plan drew criticism from BCCI officials.
Meanwhile, Karnataka, Bengal, Mumbai, Chhatisgarh, and Punjab cricket associations were rewarded for preparing the best pitches during the 2017- 18 season. They will receive Rs 10 lakh each. The CoA has also sought a discussion with state associations over player and coach exchange programme between the BCCI and England Cricket Board and explored the option of allowing foreign players aged between 19-23 to participate in Duleep Trophy.
