[Abdullah719]

Jasprit Bumrah received a reward of his effective death over bowling on Thursday as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Committee of Administrators (CoA) included the young fast bowler in the A-plus category in the Annual Player Contracts for the period from October 2018 to September 2019. Jasprit Bumrah is only the third cricketer in the Rs 7 crore category along with captain Virat Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma. Former India captain MS Dhoni, who led India to the World Cup win in 2011, has been named in the Rs 5 crore A category along with 10 other Team India players.

The 21-year-old wicket-keeper, who has cemented his place in the Test team in a short span of time, was among the biggest gainers as he bagged a Rs 5 crore A category annual contract.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav are other players in the A category.

KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, who received a lot of flak for making sexist comments on a TV chat show, has been included in Rs 3 crore grade B category. Fast bowler Umesh Yadav and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal are other two in the B category.

In Rs 1 crore C grade category, the CoA has named Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Hanuma Vihari, Khaleel Ahmed and Wriddhiman Saha.

In the women's cricket team, Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Poonam Yadav bagged the leading Rs 50 lakh A category contracts.

While Ekta Bisht, Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues found their names in Rs 30 lakh B grade contract list, Radha Yadav, D Hemalatha, Anuja Patil, Veda Krishnamurthy, Mansi Joshi, Punam Raut, Mona Meshram, Arundhati Reddy, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Taniya Bhatia and Pooja Vastrakar were included in Rs 10 lakh C grade contracts.

That is serious money. Category A. Honestly it ends match fixing and corruption from the players there and then. BCCI REALLY KNOWS HOW TO LOOK AFTER ITS PLAYERS. PCB NEED TO BRING PSL HOME TO GENERATE GOOD INCOME, to improve players financial health in the country.

So is it 5 crores a month or 5 crores in total, for the duration of the contract? 7 crores is just under a million dollars.

I believe 5 crores per annum.

It's the salary per year. A+ make about 1 mil USD and A make about 700k USD per annum. Add to this the IPL contracts and every national player makes at least a million dollars a year.

We are not counting IPL contract here plus all Ranji playing players make decently per season too.

Deserved. Bumrah is arguably as important as Kohli to India. They need him to stand a chance in the World Cup which will most likely be a run fest.

 

[giri26]

Happy for Bumrah but not sure about Rohit being in A+. He is strictly a LOI player who makes brief appearances in Tests. Bumrah and Kohli are the only certain members of all three format teams.

I think Rohit was included because he's a backup captain. Kohli is skipping a few series every year.

Still doesn't deserve it anymore than some of the other players in the ODI/T20 teams who play occasional Tests.

Not to mention a player gets match fees per match played

Test Match: Rs 7 Lakh per match.

One-Day Internationals: Rs 4 Lakh per match.

Twenty20 Internationals: Rs 2 Lakh per match.

For example, Bumrah played 9 tests, 13 odis and 8T20s last year which earned him a total of 1.3 crores from match fees

 

[BaankeJi]

Rohit Sharma in A+ can cause rift within team!

Match fees is

15L tests
6L Odi
3L T20Is

Plus the share from Bcci surplus. Last year it was 125cr.

 

[Indiafan]

Rohit Sharma in A+ can cause rift within team!

He is the vice captain so I am guessing thats why

This is peanuts, especially when the BCCI is by far, the richest board in cricket. How much do the administrators make?

Lionel Messi for example, earns more in a week than Virat Kohli earns in a year.

And the board of Lionel Messi makes how much? Isn't that peanuts for Messi? That's how it usually works in sports industries.

Good point. Just goes to show what a minor sport cricket really is, compared to something like soccer.

Kohli makes around $25-$30mn a year.That puts him in the top 100 earning sportsmen.

 

[Sachin136]

Kohli makes around $25-$30mn a year.That puts him in the top 100 earning sportsmen.

That's still not much considering that he's the best player of one of the most popular sports in the world.
