The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has unveiled a new initiative to enhance recognition and rewards for players in domestic competitions.
The BCCI's recent announcement introduces prize money for Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament awards in all women's and junior cricket events.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah announced a social media post on Monday, emphasizing the expansion of financial incentives in domestic cricket.
"We are introducing prize money for the Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament in all Women's and Junior Cricket tournaments under our Domestic Cricket Programme," Shah stated.
Additionally, prize money will be awarded for the Player of the Match in the Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali tournaments for Senior Men.
This new policy signifies a major step towards acknowledging talent across all levels of Indian cricket.
The move is expected to motivate young and emerging players by providing them with tangible rewards for their achievements.
BCCI's decision follows last year’s increase in prize money for domestic tournaments.
The introduction of prize money for junior and women players represents a progressive move towards a more inclusive and supportive cricketing ecosystem.
