Equal Match Fee For Men, Women Cricketers: BCCI's Big Announcement

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday made a big announcement, stating that the match fee for both men and women cricketers (contracted) will be the same. The decision to bring women cricketers on par with men's cricketers in terms of match fee is in many ways a revolutionary decision. BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed that the contracted senior women's cricketers will earn the same match fee as their male counterparts.
