It will be an incentive for the teams to reach the final of national tournaments,” Harbhajan told journalists after the meeting.By giving more details, the former star of India revealed that the bonus could be important. “If a cricket player has 14 first -class games per season, he will obtain additional RS 1 match costs,” said Harbhajan, highlighting the intention of the board of directors to reward coherence and commitment.

This decision is praised as a game change for the inner circuit of India, often considered the farm for future international players. By directly linking the financial awards to equal the appearances, the BCCI hopes to encourage players to prioritize domestic cricket and to raise the competitiveness of tournaments like the Ranji trophy.Harbhajan, who is also a deputy in Parliament in Rajya Sabha, took the opportunity to call on a broader social responsibility of the board of directors. “I suggested that the BCCI do something for the victims of the devastation caused by floods in the North-Indian states like Punjab,” he added.AGA has also seen a major change in leadership, the former captain of Delhi Mithun Manhas elected 37th president of the BCCI, succeeding Roger Binny. Manhas, a prolific scoorator with more than 9,700 first class races, only becomes the third former cricket player after Surav Ganguly and Binny to organize the best post.The two developments – the financial empowerment of domestic actors and the new leadership under Manhas – emphasize the BCCI attempt to strengthen cricket at the basis of the base while responding to broader social concerns.
