They will get 100% of their contract fees, and earnings from advertisements and endorsements. At the most, they may face a 10% or 20% reduction in the annual salary (in the form of forfeited match fees).
That is a very generous pay cut if you ask me. Politicians themselves received around 30-40% pay cuts. This makes Cricketers even more lucky under current conditions especially when the world is facing a recession.Yup.
Adding to that, only a few of the cricketers have contributed to the COVID 19 relief. Individuals such as Ravi Shastri are yet to donate a penny, despite almost every single celebrity in other fields doing so. That said, the real danger to them would be a reduction in the advertisement revenue if the economy goes in to a recession. Since the contracts are already signed for this financial year, the impact will be felt from next year onward.
Actually, not heard much about the top players as well who are donating it or already done it to the likes of Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Virendra Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan, Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh and other big names. I hope they can easily contribute a very big amount to the nation and help people. If they are already doing it then it is very good thing an inspiration for others.
