A New Era: BCCI takes a historic decision

In a historic move, Board of Control for Cricket in India on Thursday announced equal pay for all centrally contracted men and women Team India cricketers.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced this development on his Twitter handle today. “I’m pleased to announce BCCI’s first step towards tackling discrimination. We are implementing a pay equity policy for our contracted women cricketers. The match fee for both Men and Women Cricketers will be the same as we move into a new era of gender equality in Indian Cricket,” Shah tweeted.

“The women cricketers will be paid the same match fee as their male counterparts. Test (INR 15 lakhs), ODI (INR 6 lakhs), T20I (INR 3 lakhs). Pay equity was my commitment to our women cricketers and I thank the Apex Council for their support,” he added.

The apex cricket board of the country has also announced the first-ever women’s IPL in 2023 with five teams. This was revealed at BCCI’s last AGM in Mumbai earlier this month.
