The Ranji Trophy was started in 1934, contemporary Madras and Mysore played their first match on the Chepauk ground. When Ranji Trophy began the salary was significantly less. But after India’s victory in the 1983 World Cup, many people started taking cricket professionally and this marquee tournament’s value increased immensely.

For the past few years, every team has played 10-12 matches in an edition of the Ranji Trophy. Till the 2020-21 season, Ranji players used to earn INR 35000 per day (playing xi) and nonplaying xi would get INR 17500 every day. The same was the pay structure for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

From the 2023-2024 season, BCCI pays every playing xi cricketer with 41-60 matches INR 60000 per day, while the reserve players get 30000 for a day. On the other hand, players with 21-40 matches get 50000 a day, and non-playing are entitled to earn 25000 per day. However, less experienced players who have an experience of 0-20 matches earn INR 40000 for each playing day and payment is half for the reserve players of this category.
The same salary structure is followed for the Vijay Hazare Trophy but it is a one-day format event, although the Ranji Trophy is a four-day tournament.
When it comes to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, BCCI pays INR 17500 per game for every Syed Mushtaq Ali game as per the latest pay scale.
Earlier in 2024, the BCCI held a meeting with its selection committee led by former Indian bowler Ajit Agarkar to increase the remuneration for domestic players. Their aim is to double or triple the pay for domestic players at least in Ranji Trophy. Many players try to avoid the Ranji Trophy which is a day red ball tournament to stay fit for the IPL and resist injury. So if the board increments the salary by 200 or 300 percent then the participation will remain high and the pipeline for India’s test cricket can be maintained properly. BCCI is planning the salary structure in a way so they can earn at least 75 lacs to 1 crore INR each season from a domestic season.
