Cash awards for Indian team

I am appalled to hear about the cash awards announced by politicians of
various states to our cricketers. Cricket is a self sustaining sport
with large amount of sponsorship. The players have contracts that
guarantee them big bucks. Where is the need to spend public money on
them?

If the politicians wanted to get their name in the papers and go one-up
on each other, couldn't they just restrict it to a felicitation
ceremony? With people like this ruling, we are condemned to forever be a
second rate nation.
