Only three endorsements

MUMBAI: One of the major decisions taken at the BCCI's Working Committee meeting here on Saturday revolved around player endorsements. According to its new resolutions, players offered a contract will not be able to endorse more than three products.

Also no sponsor can contract more than two players and that the players will not be allowed to do any sponsor related events 15 days before a tour and during the tour.

All players would undergo a fitness test prior to a series. No player shall have exclusive contracts with the electronic/print media and only the captain can write a column or talk to the media but not exclusively.

The players will also have to take the Board's prior approval before signing any endorsement and will submit a copy of the agreement to the Board. All the players shall also have to submit a copy of their existing contracts.

All players will have to play a stipulated number of domestic matches when not playing for India and in the event of an injury, the Board will compensate him the match fees he would have earned for a maximum period of six months. — Special Correspondent
