10,000 tk per four day match is not good enough. Each team plays ten four day matches if I am not mistaken and that means each player is making about 1 lakh tk. If you add one day matches with it, thats about another 50,000 tk. So from national league, a first class cricketer is making about 1.5 lakh tk. Now it may sound a lot but its not. Our star players used to make 5-6 lakh tk easily few years back in Dhaka league.

I know its a start but just like I have said, its not quite good enough just yet. I rather have different companies sponsoring different divisions and players negociating their salaries with different divisions. It will not only make the league more interesting, more money will flow in and it will bring our first class cricket out of the picnic mood it has now.
