What is a player insurance policy?

Well, the BCCI has a players’ insurance policy for its contracted players and the board pays them through that policy if they miss out on an IPL season due to an injury. This rule came into effect during IPL 2011 season.

As per the players’ insurance policy, all centrally contracted players will be compensated if they miss an IPL season due to an injury or accident, regardless of when they picked up the injury before the start of the season.

However, the policy is just for the BCCI-contracted players, and players who are not in contact with the BCCI will not get any amount from the BCCI. Additionally, the IPL franchises also generally have their separate insurance schemes which cover the players in their squad.

Thus, in case a BCCI contracted player gets injured during the IPL season and is ruled out thereafter, half of his contracted amount is paid by the BCCI and the other half by the concerned franchise.
