New Delhi:<\/strong> The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating a raise in Test match fees following a growing inclination among players to prioritise their participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over red-ball cricket, says a report.<\/p>\n The board has likely chosen to revise the salary structure after questions swirled about Ishan Kishan\u2019s prolonged absence from domestic cricket. The wicketkeeper-batsman ignored the team management\u2019s calls to play domestic cricket, and instead was spotted working out and practicing in Baroda for the IPL, which begins next month.<\/p>\n The Indian Express report, citing a source, said BCCI is in the process of determining the additional bonus that will be awarded to a player who competes in every Test series throughout a season.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, if someone plays all Test series in a calendar year, he should be rewarded additionally, apart from the annual retainer contract. This is to ensure that players turn out for more red-ball cricket. This would be an additional perk for playing Test cricket,\u201d a source stated.<\/p>\n Should the new remuneration model be sanctioned, it will be put into effect following the conclusion of this IPL season, the report said.<\/p>\n Earlier, the BCCI secretary Jay Shah had warned the centrally-contracted and India \u2018A\u2019 cricketers over non-participation in domestic cricket, citing that a move like that from them to prioritise IPL over domestic cricket, would have severe implications.<\/p>\n Some reports claimed that Ishan, holds a Grade C contract, is likely to be excluded from the BCCI central contract over their absence from the Ranji Trophy.<\/p>\n (IANS) <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
