Indian Cricketers to earn less now

Tweet

Did you know that each Indian cricketer used to earn 1.6 lakh rupees per one day match played. The figure stunned me! And now the BCCi has scrapped the contract system and decreased it to 1 lakh. http://www.rediff.com/wc2007/2007/apr/07bcci.htm You can read more details in the link above. My head is still reeling from the amounts spent on cricketers and all that money comes from rich advertisers who in turn get the money from customers! I'm not cribbing - but the numbers are much larger than I expected!
