BCCI to Introduce Corporate-Style Performance-Based Variable Pay - REPORT

It was a shambolic loss against Australia and hence heads are now going to turn it seems. In a recent meeting between the BCCI selectors, the Indian captain and the coach, it is reportedly understood that the board is going to take a few tough calls. According to a report on the Indian Express, the BCCI is contemplating a corporate-style performance-based variable system. This system is going to be in place to ensure that players are accountable and take ownership in their performances. The system is said to be formulated on the lines of how corporate houses appraise their employees annually. While this would be a first, one understands something on these lines was required after the 3-1 loss at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
