BCCI accepts India U-19 coach Rahul Dravids demand

New Delhi, Feb 26: Former Indian Cricketer Rahul Dravid, who coached the India U-19 cricket team to World Cup glory, demands of having a parity in the cash prize awarded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been accepted, as per reports.

BCCI has now come up with a revised list of cash awards. As per the new list, every member of the coaching staff, including Dravid, will receive Rs 25 lakh. The BCCI has also extended the list of beneficiaries and included members of the support staff who were part of the team's year-long preparation leading up to the World Cup.

"From the time the award was announced, Dravid wasn’t happy with him getting much more than others. He informed the Board that he felt that every member had played an equal role in the team winning the World Cup. It surprised many in the BCCI that he was ready to take a cut in his own earning," the paper quoted a Board member said on condition of anonymity.
