An agreement signed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the State associations which stage international matches for the first time for a home bilateral series was made full use of by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA), as it will receive its compensation of ₹2.5 crore from the BCCI, as directed by the Supreme Court, on Friday.
A BCCI official told Sportstar : “For the first time, we signed agreements with full-member associations that were given matches against New Zealand, England, Bangladesh and Australia. The agreement spelt out the responsibilities of the staging associations. The BCCI was committed to pay ₹2.5 crore for a Test match, ₹1.5 crore for an ODI and ₹1 crore for a T20I.”
Earlier the practice was to add the international match compensation to the media rights share of 25 full-member associations (not including Railways, Services, All India Universities, Cricket Club of India, Mumbai and National Cricket Club and Kolkata) and remit the consolidated sum to the associations’ accounts, after the BCCI annual accounts are approved at the AGM in September.
Following the Supreme Court decision on Friday, the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) has sent its invoice for staging the first Test against England at Rajkot in November 2016.
The BCCI will now have to remit money to Uttar Pradesh CA, CAB, MPCA, Andhra CA, Punjab CA, Mumbai CA, TNCA, Hyderabad CA, Maharashtra CA, KSCA, Jharkhand CA, Himachal Pradesh CA, DDCA, Vidahrbha and Odhisha associations for playing host to Test matches, ODIs and Twenty20 matches this season.
