Squeeze the disparity between franchise based T20 salary and Test match salary
Players these days want to play franchise based T20 cricket as they will be purchased by huge sum if one have the calibre to play the T20 cricket. For one instance Pawan Negi, who was selected for the Asia Cup T20 and World T20 for India, was bought by Delhi Daredevils franchise for more than 8 crores. But he failed to take any wicket. On the other hand, a quality batsman like Cheteshwar Pujara has gone unsold. Pujara playing a Test match receive seven lakh. So if he plays all 18 ( India will play 18 matches this year) matches he will get 1.26 crore per annum.
The talent is not getting their worth when the player like Negi earning crores of rupees playing just two months of IPL. So BCCI took an initiative to eliminate this disparity between Test and IPL earning to lure cricketers towards Test cricket and motivate genuine Test players like Cheteshwar Pujara to concentrate on their favourite format.
Sourav Ganguly will present a white paper in BCCI Working Committee meeting that will bring a solution to this disparity.
