The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to increase the match fees and daily allowances of all the umpires, match referees, scorers and the video analysts ahead of the new domestic season.

With the several discussions over last few days, the decision was taken after Saba Karim’s (BCCI’s General Manager for cricket operations) recommendation which has been also approved by the SC-appointed CoA (Committee of Administrators).

Saba Karim told Sportskeeda on that matter, “I felt that the umpires, match referees, scorers and the video analysts, all have been the backbone of the domestic matches in our country and it is high time that they are acknowledged for their efforts.”

Every match official’s salary has been increased as their salaries have been now doubled than their existing salaries. Besides that, the curators’ salaries have been also doubled.

It means, the top 20 domestic umpires will now get INR 40,000 per day in the first-class and List A matches while previously they earned INR 20,000 per day. In T20 cricket, the umpires will earn INR 20,000 per day instead of their previous INR 10,000/day salaries.

In the meantime, other domestic umpires will earn INR 30,000 per day instead of their previous salaries of INR 15,000 per day. In T20 cricket, they will earn INR 15,000 per day instead of INR 7,500 per day.

On the other hand, match referees will also earn INR 30,000/day in the first-class and List A matches while previously they earned INR 15,000 per day. In T20 cricket, their new salaries are INR 15,000 per day instead of their previous INR 7,500/day.

Similarly, the scorers and the video analysts have been also benefited in their match fees hikes. Moreover, all the daily allowances have been doubled from the new domestic season.
