The senior selectors will be paid Rs.2.5 million annually, the BCCI said in a statement after its working committee meeting here.

However, the selectors cannot be office-bearers of the BCCI or any of its affiliated units simultaneously.

The working committee also decided that only those who have played more than 25 first-class matches and retired 10 years ago alone can be selectors.

Junior selectORS will be paid Rs.1.5 million annually, but they should have retired from first-class cricket five years ago.

The committee also said women selectors will be paid Rs. 1.5 million per annum.
