The Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) announced on Thursday that it will provide members with health insurance worth Rs 1.5 million for more than 100 retired cricketers.
BCCI’s medical reimbursement system only applies to cricketers who have played 10 or more top league matches, so many of his ICA members were not eligible for benefits.
“This is just the beginning of our Board of Directors. Last year we provided our members with additional hospitalization insurance, but this time we have gone a step further and provided full coverage of Rs 1.5 lakh each. newly elected ICA president Anshuman Gekwad was quoted as saying in a media release. The premium is paid in full by his ICA. “We are currently extending coverage to 109 members who have expressed interest in insurance claims and have played five to nine top-flight matches. added Gaekwad.
Since the past year, the ICA has also made a direct donation of approximately Rs 6,000 to a number of former cricketers in need of financial and/or medical assistance.
