Indian skipper Virat Kohli is going to meet the Committee of Administrators (CoA) along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Ravi Shastri in New Delhi on November 30 in order to discuss player contracts, clarity on conflict of interest rules and the Future Tours Programme (FTP).

The recent reports suggest that the team management had approached CoA chief Vinod Rai to have a proper discussion before the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) finalizes their annual contracts. The players’ contracts, expired on September 30 and are up for renewal.

The BCCI currently pays INR 2 crore to Grade A players, INR 1 crore to Grade B players and INR 50 lakh to Grade C players. In his proposal to the CoA, former coach Anil Kumble too had asked for a revamp of the present annual retainer and fee structure. However, he had recommended an abrupt hike, with Grade A players getting Rs 4 crore and Rs 3 crore for Grade B players.

Talking about the meeting, a top BCCI official said, “These players requested Rai to call them for a meeting as they have few issues to discuss before going to South Africa. So the BCCI has called three of them. As the third Test is starting on December 2, New Delhi has been chosen as the venue for the meeting. The major issues are the hike in players’ contract.”
