However, the case is a little different for India’s cricketing governing body’s contracted player. If an Indian player, who is contracted under the cricketing governing body, gets injured, then the cricketing board pays him the entire contracted amount as part of the players’ insurance policy. For the unversed, the insurance policy came into effect in the year 2011. The franchise, though, won’t be paying any amount to that player.

What happens if a non-contracted player suffers an injury during an ongoing season of the Indian T20 League?

If an overseas or an Indian player, who is not centrally contracted with India’s governing body, picks up an injury during a season, then he will be paid on the basis of number of matches he played for the team during that season.
