The players’ body can be formed in a month’s time as the process of registration and putting it up in front of the Supreme Court will be carried out simultaneously.

“In one month the entire process of registration should be over and by September, the BCCI elections should be held,” the paper has reported a BCCI insider as saying.

All first-class cricketers can register with the body. The qualification for a first-class cricketer will be 15 games for men and 5 for women. Three one-day games or five Twenty20 games will be considered as one first-class game.

The Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (FICA), the global body that represents the interests of professional cricketers, has long supported the idea of a players’ association in India.
