Plea to increase remuneration of Ranji players 21 August 2001
The Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) secretary Niranjan Shah has urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India to increase the remuneration of Ranji players. In a letter to the BCCI president, AC Muthiah, Shah urged him to take up the issue at the forthcoming working committee meeting, scheduled on August 25. "Cricketers of first class tournament are not given importance and are not paid the amount they deserve in comparison to Test and one-day international cricketers," Shah said adding, "Ranji cricketers should be treated on par with Test and one day players as far as remuneration is concerned." Appreciating the efforts of the BCCI to get the sponsorship amount from logos and encourage Test and one-day international cricketers, Shah said the distribution of 60 per cent from logo money only among the Test and one-day international players was unjustified and unfair. © PTI
