The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering increasing the remuneration for domestic players for both First Class and List A Cricket.

There is also a line of thinking that the domestic players should be in position to earn between INR 75 lakh to INR 1 crore annually if he has played 10 Ranji Trophy games.

The BCCI currently pays INR 60,000 a day to a player who has played more than 40 Ranji games, INR 50,000 to those who have played between 21 and 40 games and INR 40,000 for those who've featured atleast 20 games,
with the reserve players earn INR 30,000, INR 25,000 and INR 20,000 in the respective categories. On this scale of payment, a senior cricketer would be earning up to INR 25 lakh if his side reaches the final with others in the side making between INR 17 lakh and INR 22 lakh.

Moreover, the players will also earn from other BCCI events - like white-ball tournaments such as Vijay Hazare and Mushtaq Ali -- and there is every chance the remuneration for the players will be increased from the next season. The BCCI is planning on how to maximise the earnings of domestic players.

Sunil Gavaskar had suggested that fees for domestic cricketers be doubled or tripled. "If the Ranji Trophy fees can be doubled or tripled, certainly there'll be a lot more people playing the Ranji Trophy, and a lot less pullouts from the Ranji Trophy, because if the fees of playing a Ranji Trophy match are a good fee, there will be fewer people pulling out for various reasons."
