Change in junior level match fees also
Parity has been implemented in junior level tournaments also. Here in multi-day or ODI matches, the playing XI will get Rs 25,000 per day and the reserve players will get Rs 12,500. At the same time, in T20 matches, players of playing XI will be paid Rs 12,500 and players not included in playing 11 will be paid Rs 6,250.
