The
BCCI
recently introduced 'Test Cricket Incentive Scheme' under which it tripled the Test match reward for players who would play 75 per cent or more of the scheduled red-ball games in a particular season.
A Test player, who appears in a possible 10 Tests in a season will be richer by a whopping Rs 4.50 crore as incentive apart from a possible Rs 1.5 crore (15 lakh per game) in usual match fee.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said the board will spend around Rs 45 crore for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.
