The Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is asking the top players to accept less money for the 2020 edition.
An EspnCricinfo report yesterday said, “The competition will be played, subject to (TT) Government approval, behind closed doors with the top-paid players expected to accept a salary cut of up to 30 per cent when compared to 2019 levels. There will be no salary cut for players below the US$20,000 bracket.”
Players who normally earn US$160,000, $130,000, $110,000, $90,000, $70,000, $60,000, $40,000 and $30,000 would be asked to accept a 30 per cent cut, and players who would have made US$20,000 will accept a ten per cent cut. Players in the $15,000 bracket or less will not receive salary cuts.
CPL organisers are hoping to stage the competition in TT between August 18 and September 10.
