BCCI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) pays a good salary to its players so that they can avail all the facilities. However, there is one player in Team India who is often not available for the team even after earning crores of rupees.

Actually, players have to take care of their fitness and we have seen that many players are not available to play for Team India but they play matches one after the other continuously. In such a situation, India's legendary all-rounder Hardik Pandya is also included in such players who often remain injured.

BCCI gives crores of rupees to Hardik

Let us tell you that Team India's star player Hardik Pandya is an important part of India and is a very important player. In such a situation, whenever he is out of the team, India's balance gets disturbed because he proves to be effective with both bat and ball.

Hardik has been placed in the A category in BCCI's annual central contract and the board pays Rs 5 crore per year to the players included in it. Apart from this, the player also gets match fees as per the number of matches played.

Hardik Pandya is often injured

Hardik Pandya has a deep connection with injuries and this is why he is not seen in Test cricket. Pandya remains out of Team India for a long time. Recently, he also withdrew his name from the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka due to personal reasons.

Hardik was out of the ICC World Cup 2023 mid-tournament and after being out for a long time, he made a comeback through IPL 2024. Pandya has been out for a long time for Team India so far but he has played all the seasons of IPL.

does not participate in test matches

Hardik is seen playing only in limited overs format for Team India and he does not play in Test matches. The main reason for this is said to be his poor fitness because in this format matches have to be played continuously for 4 or 5 days.

Hardik last played for Team India in the Test format against England in the year 2018. That is, it has been almost 6 years since Pandya played Test cricket and he is not seen in this format.
