BCCI to discuss pay for women cricketers in December meeting
BCCI to discuss pay for women cricketers in December meeting
BCCI will take up the revision of the pay structure for women cricketers at the Apex Council meeting on December 22. The meeting will be held online and is slated to begin at 7:00 PM.
The Apex Council will discuss changes to payments for women cricketers on December 22. The BCCI is planning to increase match fees for women playing in domestic tournaments.
This move was expected after the women’s team won the ODI World Cup, and the board has now decided to take it up in the virtual meeting. At the international level, men and women are paid equally, but differences remain in domestic cricket.
Another important topic will be the central contracts for the men’s team. Special attention will be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as both have retired from two formats of international cricket.
The BCCI will also look at revising match fees for umpires, with a decision likely during the 7 pm meeting on December 22.
