The Playoff matches of the DLF IPL 2012 will witness a tribute by the BCCI to its greats, the likes of which has no parallels in history. The surplus revenue to BCCI from IPL and CLT20 will be utilised to make a one-time payment to International and First-Class cricketers who retired before 2004, in recognition of their services to Indian Cricket. A total of 70 crores will be distributed among these stalwarts. Widows of deceased Cricketers will also be eligible for the one-time payment.
As per the system worked out by the Board, three ODIs will be considered the equivalent of one Test Match. Accordingly, a Cricketer who may have played, say only one Test, but a hundred ODIs, will be considered part of the ‘between 25 and 49 Tests’ bracket.
Some of the beneficiaries have been invited to the DLF IPL 2012 Playoff venues. They will be presented their respective cheques before the start of the Playoff Matches. It is practically difficult to invite all the beneficiaries for the matches and hence, the others will be sent their cheques.
The beneficiaries have been divided into the following categories:
|
A |
Cricketers who have played more than 100 Test matches |
1.5 Crore |
|
B |
Cricketers who have played between 75 & 99 Test matches |
