In India, earnings for a cricketer at the domestic level vary based on their experience, role, and the specific state association they represent. Here’s a general breakdown of the earnings for county (domestic) cricketers in India:

Match Fees:

Ranji Trophy (First-Class): Players generally earn around ₹60,000 to ₹70,000 per day in the playing XI. A four-day Ranji Trophy match can earn a player around ₹2.4 to ₹2.8 lakh.
Vijay Hazare Trophy (One-Day Matches): Players earn approximately ₹35,000 to ₹40,000 per game.
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (T20): Players earn around ₹17,000 to ₹20,000 per match.

Central Contracts: Some domestic cricketers who perform well consistently may be signed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under different categories. These contracts vary but provide additional security.

State Team Contracts: Some state associations offer yearly retainers or contracts to top players, which can vary significantly by state. These contracts typically range from ₹10 to ₹20 lakh per year for seasoned players, with junior players earning less.

Other Earnings: Cricketers also make income through brand endorsements, local club games, and occasionally participating in the IPL if they are selected, which can be a significant income boost.

In total, an experienced domestic cricketer can earn anywhere from ₹30 lakh to over ₹50 lakh annually through match fees, retainers, and endorsements. Newer players may earn less but have the potential to increase earnings through performances and promotions to higher levels.
