District Cricket Association: In a move that will help many former players, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has revived the pension scheme for all former cricketers who have played less than 25 matches and do not get assistance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

To also help such players who do not come under the coverage provided by the BCCI, the current DDCA administration has provided health insurance to all former Delhi cricketers who do not get the benefit from BCCI.

The DDCA had in 2011 launched a pension scheme for all those who have played less than 25 Ranji Trophy matches and don't get similar benefits from the BCCI because they have not played sufficient matches. However, the scheme was stopped when the DDCA came under the control of the administrators because of governance issues. The DDCA administration led by President Rohan Jaitley has decided to revive the scheme.
