In a letter to the BCCI president,AC Muthiah, Shah urged him to take up the issue at the forthcoming workingcommittee meeting, scheduled on August 25."Cricketers of first class tournament are not givenimportance and are not paid the amount they deservein comparison to Test and one-day international cricketers," Shahsaid adding, "Ranji cricketers should be treated on par with Testand one day players as far as remuneration is concerned."Appreciating the efforts of the BCCI to get the sponsorshipamount from logos and encourage Test and one-day internationalcricketers, Shah said the distribution of 60 per cent fromlogo money only among the Test and one-day internationalplayers was unjustified and unfair.
