The BCCI on Sunday decided to increase the hosting fee of the six state associations staging the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh besides hiking the match fee of players from Rs 50,000 to Rs 75,000. The T20 event that began on Sunday marked the start of India’s domestic season which was delayed by months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament is played across six cities and in a bio-bubble, which increases the cost for the host association.
