International captains and their salaries in 2020 / India cricket captain salaries

It’s not easy to lead an international cricket side. The pressure from both on and off the field is immense. A majority of the captains in international cricket are centrally contracted to their respective cricket boards and get salaries according to those contracts.

Different boards have different life cycles and time of the year for their contracts. Generally, the trend is the respective cricket boards hand out contracts for a period of one year and that becomes their salary for that year. There are certain boards that treat its captains special and have different contracts for them with a different sum.
