Following the rift between chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar and Cricket
Board over compensation, BCCI today announced a hike in the allowances
of selectors.
BCCI Finance Committee which met here today decided to hike the allowances of
board members and selectors.
Board secretary Niranjan Shah announced the hike of dearness allowance
from Rs. 5000 to 10,000 and the traveling allowance from Rs. 7000 to 10,000.
After the selectors were banned from writing syndicated columns
in newspapers, Vengsarkar had asked for a hefty compensation from the board.
The tussle reached a flsahpoint when Vengsarkar offered to
resign but BCCI Chief Sharad Pawar calmed the nerves promising that proper
compensation will be given to the selectors.
Meanwhile the proposed meeting between Vengsarkar and Pawar
during the inauguration of a indoor cricket stadium at Bandra could not take
place.
Though both were present in the function but could not spare time from the
meeting.
The meeting is likely to take place tomorrow, sources close
to Vengsarkar said.
