The Indian team will have to wait for the Supreme Court’s verdict on January 3rd before it can hope of receiving any performance-based incentives from the BCCI following their 4-0 win over England in the just-concluded five-match series, PTI reported.
The BCCI has a practice of announcing performance-based rewards to the senior as well as junior teams. However, in the current scenario, their hands seemed to be tied.
The Supreme Court of India has passed an order that limits the BCCI’s financial freedom and power until the board and its state associations comply with the Lodha Committee’s recommendations.
With BCCI needing the apex court’s permission for disbursal of any amount, the Virat Kohli-led team may have to wait to a little longer to receive any reward.
“Nothing can happen before Supreme Court hearing on January 3,” a senior office-bearer told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The team had received Rs 2 crore in 2015 after beating South Africa 3-0 in a four-match series.
