After India crushed out of ICC Champions Trophy, BCCI officials have come under heavy attack both form the media and the common mass. Many people are still angry even after 3 days. So, BCCI officials are trying to find a way to silence the critics. It seems that BCCI vice-president Shashank Manohar has found a perfect formula to divert the attention of everyone.
Times of India reported:
“I firmly believe that our cricketers have to be made accountable and the only way to do it is to have a system where payments are based on performance. The better you work, the more you earn. It's as simple as that," BCCI vice-president Shashank Manohar said on Tuesday.
He added: "I am going to take this up seriously at the board's next meeting. Hopefully, we will have a system in place wherein the players get paid according to their performances." BCCI's contracts sub-committee, of which Manohar is a member, will decide on the payment structure for Rahul Dravid and his mates. According to TOI sources, the other members of this committee also feel that it's time for the board to adopt a pay-as-you-perform structure.”
Sounds great, isn’t it? The players will be paid based on their performance. Yes, I am a strong supporter of this system too. However, I want to see that BCCI officials get the same treatment. I mean that ultimately they are responsible for managing cricket in India. So, under their supervision, Indian team can perform well then they should stay in their position or else they should accept defeat and resign.
It is the duty of BCCI officials to nurture talent in India and appoint the best persons in the team management and selection committee. If India performs badly, they cannot just say that the players are to blame. They must take their responsibility too.
What is your view about it?

I'm against this system. Don't you think this system puts pressure on Indian players? If this system is in place our players stop concentrating on team effort and they try to focus on individual benefits.
