BCCI asks RCB to produce 'NOC' from players on salary issue

RCB

The BCCI Governing Council today asked the Royal Challengers Bangalore to get 'No Objection Certificate' from their players on the revised payment schedule after the southern franchise failed to pay the first installment of their salaries for IPL5 held in April-May.

"The IPL governing council today summoned the RCB officials to the governing council meeting to discuss on the players' payment issue. After discussions, the BCCI has asked RCB to get 'No Objection Certificate' from the cricketers on the revised payment schedule. The franchise has promised that they would produce the NOC in some time," a senior governing council member told PTI today.

"Look, the BCCI can still wait for their yearly franchise fee but it is unfair if the players' salaries is not paid on time," the official added. The matter came up for discussion at the governing council meeting today after it was reported that none of the RCB players, save Chris Gayle, have received their first installment of salary.

It has been reported that some members of the Royal Challengers 2012 squad, including captain Daniel Vettori, are still awaiting the first instalment of their pay. Under every identical IPL contract, signed between the player, the franchise and the IPL, the players are due 15 per cent of their fee for the season by April 1 (before the IPL or very early into it), 50 per cent by May 1 (during the IPL or towards its end), 20 per cent after the Champions League and 15 per cent by December 1.


The players had supposedly emailed the management after the fifth season ended in May, but did not receive any straightforward response.

Royal Challengers' franchise owners, the UB group, have recently hit financial strife, with owner Vijay Mallya's airline found to be in debt of USD 1.3b.

Last week, the Federation of International Cricketers' Association (FICA) chief executive, Tim May had also complained that the IPL had sidelined FICA and reduced it to an advisory role in the current payment dispute between RCB and some of its players.

The Deccan Chargers officials were also summoned to the meeting. It has been reliably learnt that the discussions were regarding selling of stakes.

Rajasthan Royals official Raghu Iyer was also present at the meeting to have discussion with senior BCCI official and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on ownership pattern of the franchise.

New Delhi, Mar 1: Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif on Sunday heaped praise on Ravindra Jadeja after the all-rounder took a spectacular catch on the second day of the Christchurch Test against New Zealand.

Jadeja grabbed a one-handed stunner at deep square leg in the 72nd over to dismiss Neil Wagner, who had to depart after scoring 21 runs.

"Sir Jadeja for a reason! Jadeja Airlines, flying high! Terrific stuff," Kaif tweeted.

In the match, Jadeja also impressed with the ball. The left-handed bowler took two wickets while giving away 22 runs.

On day two, India bundled out New Zealand on 235 runs in the second Test. However, in their second innings, Indian batsmen again struggled to tackle the New Zealand pacers and lost six wickets with a lead of just 97 runs.

India went to stumps at 90/6, with Trent Boult doing the majority of the damage with three wickets.

Mumbai, Jun 13: Vasant Raiji, who was India's oldest first-class cricketer at 100, died in Mumbai in the wee hours of Saturday.

Raiji was 100 years old and is survived by his wife and two daughters.

"He (Raiji) passed away at 2.20 am in his sleep at his residence in Walkeshwar in South Mumbai due to old-age," his son-in-law Sudarshan Nanavati told PTI.

Raiji, a right-handed batsman, played nine first-class matches in the 1940s, scoring 277 runs with 68 being his highest score.

He made his debut for a Cricket Club of India team that played Central Provinces and Berar in Nagpur in 1939.

His Mumbai debut happened in 1941 when the team played Western India under the leadership of Vijay Merchant.

Raiji, also a cricket historian and chartered accountant, was 13 when India played its first Test match at the Bombay Gymkhana in South Mumbai.

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and former Australian skipper Steve Waugh had paid a courtesy visit to Raiji at his residence in January when he had turned 100.

It has been learnt that the cremation will take place at the Chandanwadi crematorium in South Mumbai on Saturday afternoon.
