A Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India was held on Saturday. Earlier this month, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had reiterated that the BCCI would stick to the decision taken at the AGM last year. So at the end of the season, when their payments will go, they will be compensated,” Ganguly told The Indian Express. Those in the know say that the BCCI will need around Rs 50 to 55 crore to keep this promise. He further added that since the resumption of the IPL would ensure the pending Rs 1,500 crore payment from the host broadcaster, “sharing a small share of the amount with the players in need wouldn’t be asking too much.”
