BCCI big decision, women cricketers will get the same match fees as male cricketers

BCCI has announced the Pay Equity Policy for contracted Indian women cricketers. Under the new policy of BCCI, now the match fee (Indian Cricketers Monthly Salary) will be same for both men and women cricketers. BCCI secretary Jay Shah has tweeted about this. Jay Shah has fixed different match fees for ODI, Test and T20.

Brilliant step by BCCI under Right to Equality

The rule of keeping match fees the same for both men and women cricketers is considered a great step under the right to equality. This will boost the morale of the women cricketers and new talent will come forward to join the Indian women's team.
