Pehlay Team India aur abb yay…
"Bindra said that the players (both international and domestic) would get a sharp increase in their remuneration, given that the BCCI’s annual earnings have increased seven-fold. “When Team Pawar took over, the annual earnings were Rs 200 crore,” Bindra pointed out. “It’s grown seven-fold, meaning that Rs 150 crore will go to 390 cricketers playing domestic first-class cricket.”

Re: 'Team Pawar'
What can I say.........A blown-up version of ICC in the making. :D
Re: 'Team Pawar'
$85,000 (on average) per domestic first-class cricketer is an absolute fortune.
i don't see why there's such a rush to flood the players with money. of course they should get bonuses and salary increases, but additional profits should be spent elsewhere....there is no shortage of resource-intensive ways to develop and improve cricket in india.
Re: 'Team Pawar'
I seriously think that BCCI should be incorporated and publicly listed (traded on the stock exchange). It should really be managed professionally with a CEO, MBA marketing executives and the likes.
But politicians like Pawar will not let go of their hold easily.

Re: 'Team Pawar'
Some1, I'd agree with you. I can bet that stocks of BCCI might ascend like the stocks of "Google" on the first day. Nevertheless, not a bad idea @ all.
