BCCI to increase Test match fees 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to increase the per match fees for Test matches.

The BCCI will also reward the players who play all the Test series in the year.

This decision has been taken after players like Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan decided not to play for their states in the Ranji Trophy despite not being part of the India squad. 

Both players have opted out of domestic cricket in order to prepare themselves for the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The BCCI can take another big step in its effort to make the players prioritize red-ball cricket. The Indian board has been busy issuing directives to the players to play domestic cricket when they are not a part of the Indian team.
