Indian women cricketers will collect the same match fee as their male counterparts, BCCI secretary Jai Shah has confirmed
They will earn INR 15 lakh per Test, INR 6 lakh for each ODI and 3 lakh for T20I.
India's centrally contracted women cricketers are set to earn the same match fee as their male counterparts for appearing in international matches, according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah, as per the board's new pay equity policy.
Under this policy, women - like men - will earn Rs 15 lakh for a Test, Rs 6 lakh for an ODI and Rs 3 lakh for a T20. These amounts are significantly higher than the flat INR 1 lakh and 2.5 lakh for a Test match that Indian women players currently earn for an ODI or T20I game.
While describing the move as a "first step to tackle discrimination", Shah thanked the BCCI's apex council for helping implement the move, which he said was a "commitment to our women cricketers".
