⭐ 1. bcci Central contract Retainer
Rinku Singh is currently listed in the Grade C category of the Board of Control for cricket in india (BCCI) central contracts. Players in this category receive a fixed annual salary (retainer) from the BCCI:
- Annual retainer salary: ₹1 crore per year (approx.)
This contract payment is irrespective of how many matches he plays during the year — it’s paid as long as he remains centrally contracted.
⭐ 2. Match Fees (Paid When Playing for India)
In addition to the annual retainer, the bcci pays match fees to players for each international match they play. These vary by format:
- Test match: ₹15 lakh per match
- One‑Day international (ODI): ₹6 lakh per match
- T20 international (T20I): ₹3 lakh per match
These fees are in addition to the ₹1 crore retainer and are paid only for matches in which Rinku actually participates.
How It Works Together
Here’s how the two components contribute to his income:
- Base Salary: ₹1 crore/year (BCCI central contract)
- Extra Payments: Match fees only when he plays international games
So, if he plays several ODIs and T20Is in a year, his total earnings from the bcci will be higher than ₹1 crore thanks to the match fees.
What This Means
- The central contract retainer gives stability — a guaranteed ₹1 crore even if he plays fewer matches.
- Match fees act as performance‑linked extra earnings, boosting his total pay when he plays more games.
📌 Note
This salary from the BCCI is separate from what Rinku earns in the Indian Premier League (IPL) or from the Uttar Pradesh government position he recently received, which have their own compensation structures.
