Decision to raise match fee a tangible shift

The BCCI’s decision to raise Test match fees to Rs 15 lakh must be applauded. The rise of limited overs cricket diluted the importance of the Test cricketer to some extent, but the arrival of T20 — and especially the cash rich leagues — threatens to marginalise him completely. Consider Cheteshwar Pujara, who has been offloaded from the IPL, does not figure in limited overs internationals, but is a high quality, highly prolific Test player. Where does he stand vis-a-vis say the high earning T20 specialist who may be a fairly mediocre Test player: if indeed he is selected? As things were, the Test specialist was rapidly becoming a poor cousin of the ‘star’ limited overs player, particularly in Indian cricket.
