India pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s reported ₹2 crore pay cut has triggered a rethink on BCCI’s central contracts.
BCCI removed the A+ category, reducing the top annual retainership from ₹7 crore to ₹5 crore.
Bumrah, now India’s only active all-format player, has been directly affected by this change.
Reports suggest the board feels the pay cut may be unfair given Bumrah’s consistent performances.
BCCI is now exploring ways to revise the pay structure and possibly compensate affected players.
Axar Patel’s contract could also be reviewed as the board looks to ensure fair pay for key performers.
