Currently, players get the contracted amount at which they were picked in the auction or through retention. Besides that, they also get a portion of the Player of the Match award for being a part of the Playing XI.
But the introduction of a match fee will definitely help the uncapped and young players like U-19 stars as they have a salary cap and are signed up at a nominal amount when compared to the megabucks offered in the auction.
With the introduction of match-fee, these players will get an additional Rs 7.9 lakh if they play a match, thus making playing in the IPL a more lucrative proportion for them.
