The Tamim Iqbal-led ad-hoc committee helming affairs of Bangladesh cricket announced its first major decision on Friday, with domestic match fees and salaries being increased significantly.
According to ESPNCricinfo, the women’s team will now receive BDT 10,000 (INR 7555) for T20s, BDT 15,000 (INR 11, 300) for 50-over games and BDT 20,000 (INR 15,100) for first-class games.
For domestic men’s cricketers, Players in category A will now get BDT 65,000 (INR 49,000) per month, while category B and C will get BDT 50,000 (INR 37,000) and BDT 40,000 (INR 30,200) respectively.
“This may not be ideal, but it is certainly an improvement, considering there are limits to how much can be increased at once,” Tamim told ESPNCricinfo.
“There has been little increment in the past three to four years,” Tamim said. “I think the players were highly underpaid in the previous salary structure. These players work hard, and cricket exists because of their efforts. At the very least, they deserve fair compensation.”
The revised salaries will be effective from January 1, 2026.
