Team India to receive performance-based variable pay in BCCI's new move post AUS tour: 'Players got be held accountable'
The idea of performance-based variable pay was discussed during the recently held BCCI review meeting in Mumbai to ensure that the players are more “accountable” and do not have an indifferent attitude towards Test cricket. India's Jasprit Bumrah reacts with teammates during the trophy ceremony after the fifth cricket Test match between Australia and India at The SCG in Sydney on January 5 According to a report in the Indian Express, the pay structure is based on a corporate-style appraisal system, and that players will receive a pay cut if they perform poorly in a series. “It was one of the suggestions given that players should be held accountable and if their performance is deemed not fit as per expectations, they should face variable pay-cuts,” a source said. Discussion on players lacking intent In addition to the performance-based pay structure, the other aspect mooted during the review meeting was the lack of intent from certain players towards Test cricket.
