The coronavirus pandemic has brought everything to a standstill and with sporting activities across the globe getting cancelled the world's richest sports body is staring at big losses. With the future of IPL 2020 looking bleak reports are emerging that Virat Kohli and Co may face pay cuts. The president of Indian Cricketers Association (ICA), Ashok Malhotra has come on record and said that the Indian players could also be going through pay cuts especially with no sporting events happening.
During an interview with the Times of India, he cited the example of European football clubs and said that even their salaries have been deducted. He further went on to add that this is an unexpected situation where everyone will have to try and contribute. “I know it's not fair to reduce the salaries of the players, but if the parent body is not earning as much as it was doing before, the cricketers will definitely have to expect a pay cut," he said during the interview. Talking about Indian Premier League 2020, there is still no clarity on if the cash-rich event will begin on its revised date April 15, 2020.
