Equal match fee for men and women cricketers: BCCI

Taking to Twitter, Shah said this was the Board's step towards ending gender discrimination. The revised fees for both men and women cricketers will be Rs 15 lakh for Tests, Rs 6 lakh for ODIs and Rs 3 lakh for T20Is. "Pay equity was my commitment to our women cricketers and I thank the Apex Council for their support," Shah further said.

Former India cricketer Mithai Raj was among the first to welcome the board's decision, calling it "a new era for women's cricket in India." Earlier this year, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) had struck a deal with the country's players' association, which enabled the women cricketers to earn as much as the male players, while Cricket Australia (CA) is also working to do away with gender disparity.

As another step towards gender equality, the BCCI had hinted that a full-fledged women's Indian Premier League (IPL) could begin next year. (With agency inputs)
