The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to announce Rs 30 crore each for all state association today during their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai. State associations have been ensured that the amount would be credited into the account as part of their share.

According to a report in cricbuzz, the amount may vary for newer states and North Eastern associations, but the major ones will get the full benefits of the bonanza. This share goes beyond the recent hike in fees for hosting several domestic matches.

Hosting one match in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy, Cooch Behar Trophy, and Vijay Merchant Trophy cost between Rs 5,000 and Rs. 1,00,000. The BCCI is also taking into consideration the various subsidies attached to tournaments, apart from price hikes in operational issues like floodlights and ground management.

The AGM is likely to approve the Women's Indian Premier League (WIPL) draft, and once that completed the sale of media rights and franchises will go on the floor.

This will be Sourav Ganguly's last AGM as BCCI President, where former India and World Cup-winning player Roger Binny will officially be elected as his successor.
