Sportspersons being asked to take pay cuts have been making news ever since the outbreak of the Coronavirus brought the world to a standstill. But BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal has made it clear that there is no such thought process at present when it comes to the salary of the Indian cricketers. Speaking to IANS, Dhumal made it clear that there have been no such discussions and while the setback from the pandemic will be huge, salary cut isn't in the mind of the board. "No, we have not spoken about this [pay cut].

Whatever the steps after this setback, it will be taken judiciously and keeping the interest of all people in mind. Any step taken needs to be thought out and right now we haven't even thought about it. Obviously this is a big setback, but we will go about this in a way that nobody gets affected. These things can be discussed once things settle down," he said.
