Mohammad Azharuddin and Rohan Jaitely joined the working group to decide on compensation for a first-class cricketer

Former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin, DDCA president Rohan Jaitley were included in the seven-person BCCI working group that was formed on Saturday to decide on a compensation formula for first-class cricketers for the cancellation of the Ranji Trophy last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The other members of the panel include Saurashtra’s Jaydev Shah, Karnataka’s Santosh Menon, Assam’s Devajit Saikia, CAB’s Avishek Dalmiya and Uttar Pradesh’s Yudhvir Singh.

Last season, the players in domestic cricket lost around Rs 10 to 15 lakh as BCCI could only hold Vijay Hazare Trophy (National One Dayers) and Syed Mushtaq (National t20).

“Jaybhai Shah, Hon. Secretary of BCCI announced today that BCCI has formed a working group comprising of the member associations, including former cricketers, for domestic cricket in India,” the Saurashtra Cricket Association stated in a media statement issued here on late Saturday night.
