The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will begin matching the match fees paid to Ranji Trophy cricketers by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) beginning with the upcoming season. BCCI match fees range from Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 per day, with the exact amount contingent upon the cricketer's game count. This will be matched by the MCA, so a player from Mumbai will receive fees from both the BCCI and the state association.

“MCA will be paying additional match fees per Ranji Trophy game to each player from next season onwards. For example if a new player is earning Rs 40,000 per day from the BCCI then MCA will pay them Rs 40,000 too. We felt that players should earn more, especially those who play Ranji Trophy cricket. For us red-ball cricket matters the most as Ranji Trophy holds a special place for everyone in Mumbai,” MCA President Amol Kale told the Indian Express.
