BCCI announces match fee parity for men and women cricketers

India's ladies' cricketers will presently procure a coordinate charge at standard with the men's cricketers, BCCI secretary Jay Shah declared on Thursday. The choice was taken at the BCCI Pinnacle Board Meeting.

Roger Binny, the BCCI president, said, "In our Pinnacle Committee meeting today, we have settled on a marquee choice on pay value for our ladies cricketers. Our ladies players will be paid a similar match expenses as men in global cricket. This choice sets the stage to develop and foster cricket. I accept this is a critical step in the right direction for ladies' cricket and the game generally speaking."

This choice by the BCCI implies that the ladies' players will presently procure INR 15 lakh for each Test, INR 6 lakh for each ODI and INR 3 lakh for each T20I they play, making them the third board after Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket to have equivalent compensation. In any case, an enormous divergence in the focal agreement pay of the people cricketers remains.

Jay Shah, in several Tweets, said that the BCCI has taken the "most important move towards handling separation" by executing the compensation value strategy and that cricket in India is presently moving towards "another period of orientation correspondence".

Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian ladies' commander, hailed the choice and said, "Really an epic occasion for Ladies' Cricket in India with pay equality reported for ladies and men.
