All cricket players taking part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) will now get a fixed match fee, according to a statement released on Saturday by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that starting with the 2025 Indian Premier League, every player in the starting lineup as well as the impact substitute will earn a match fee of Rs. 7.5 lakh every game.
According to the post by Jay Shah “In a historic move to celebrate consistency and champion outstanding performances in the IPL, we are thrilled to introduce a match fee of INR 7.5 lakhs per game for our cricketers. A cricketer playing all league matches in a season will get Rs. 1.05 crores in addition to his contracted amount,” his post said.
“Each franchise will allocate Rs 12.60 crores as match fees for the season. This is a new era for the IPL and our players.”
A player who plays in all 14 league games would earn an extra Rs. 1.05 crore on top of his contracted salary, according to the revised fee structure.
The per-match fee for the IPL will now be around 78% higher than that for a First-Class game, which is played across four to five days.
