NEW DELHI: Indian captain Virat Kohli is likely to take up the issue of hikes and payment structure of players when he meets the Committee of Administrators (CoA) before the IPL final in Hyderabad on May 21. It is learnt that senior cricketers, who had earlier told CoA that the current payment structure was unscientific and needed to be rectified, would discuss the payment structure. Sources said that those who are playing in both the formats would be eligible for payment under both the retainership fees. "At the end of his career, Pujara shouldn't feel that he hasn't earned enough after playing Test cricket when an IPL contract could see an up coming domestic cricketer making more than him. However, he is supposed to meet the board functionary separately as per the agenda.
