This Ranji Trophy season, BCCI will give medals to the ‘Player of the Match.’ Last season, they got 25,000 from sponsors. This year, instead of cash, they’ll get a medal from BCCI. It’s not clear if the cash prize will stay the same.
This Ranji Trophy season, BCCI will give medals to the ‘Player of the Match.’ Last season, they got Rs 25,000 from sponsors, but this year, BCCI decided to replace it with a medal. It’s unclear if the cash award will stay the same.
The BCCI has sent a circular to match referees and state associations, stating that ‘Player of the Match’ medals have been dispatched for all Ranji Trophy matches. One medal per match is to be handed over to the match referee upon arrival. This decision aims to let players cherish the mementos earned through their hard work, expanding beyond international games or IPL awards. The BCCI believes this initiative will give domestic cricketers something tangible to showcase, aligning with practices in other sports. Players will now have both medals and prize money rewards to take back home after each game.
