Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and senior off-spinner R Ashwin found themselves relegated from the top-paid bracket with the BCCI. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced a new contract system and compensation structure for Indian cricket that will see the cricketers earn a lot more than what they used to in previous years. The Supreme Court of India appointed Committee of Administrators for BCCI has announced the annual player contracts for the period from October 2017 to September 2018.
