Rewards Given in Excess

Recently India created history by winning it's first edition of the tri-series in Australia by defeating the world champs(so called) after 23 years. It is indeed a great moment, I agree but what BCCI has done is that whenever Team India achieves a milestone it is giving some incentives to the players which is very much needed for the motivation of players. No one can match the motivation of BCCI towards the players, the mistake here is the incentives are given here in excess which will motivate the players in a wrong way. The incentive of 20 or 25 lakhs for every player in the team is unnecessary. If you want to really motivate for the recently concluded CB series you can give the incentives to the players whose contribution was very much important say for example Praveen Kumar and Tendulkar are the players who really deserved the incentive. Instead giving incentives to players like Raina etc who not even played in the series is not fair. This might create a negative motivation on the players. Only the players who perform should be rewarded. Rewards when given in excess might affect the motivation of the team. So this is my kind request to BCCI.
