Australia and England have decided to raise their voices for increasing the fees for Test cricket matches.
According to Australian media, Australia and England are keen to set a minimum test fee limit for all nations, and Australia and England will raise the issue at the ICC board meeting.
With ICC meetings underway in Dubai, the fee hike is aimed at securing Test cricket matches in the era of T20 leagues.
According to Australian media, international benchmarks are expected to be equal to Australia’s test fee, Australia has set the test fee benchmark at 20,000 Australian dollars.
Cricket Australia has increased the fees to maintain interest in Tests in the presence of T20 leagues.
According to the Australian media, the fee limit for Test matches should be at most up to India’s Test fee, which has been set recently. Meet less.
Remember that a player like Shamar Joseph can earn more than a million dollars from the Indian league, the Test salary in West Indies is 5 thousand US dollars which is the lowest.
West Indies players receive a retainership of one to one and a half million US dollars, Cricket Australia’s average retainer is one million dollars per year.
Captain Pat Cummins is paid $2 million and can earn another $1 million from match and tour fees.
West Indies get six Tests a year while Australia have played 22 Tests in 15 months.
It should be noted that India recently introduced the Test Cricket Incentive Scheme to save Tests.
