NEW DELHI, India (AP) \u2014 Players for the India men\u2019s and women\u2019s cricket teams will receive the same match fees, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Jay Shah, secretary of the BCCI, tweeted that men and women will receive 1.5 million rupees ($18,290) for a test match, 600,000 rupees ($7,317) for one-day internationals and 300,000 rupees ($3,658) for a T20 match.<\/p>\n
\u201cPay equity was my commitment to our women cricketers,\u201d Shah said.<\/p>\n
Former India women\u2019s captain Mithali Raj called it \u201ca huge boost for women\u2019s cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n
The announcement came after India won the women\u2019s T20 Asia Cup in Bangladesh earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Former India test cricketer Kirti Azad said the BCCI should also introduce the much-delayed central contracts for women players.<\/p>\n
Men have significantly more international matches than the women\u2019s national team, and benefit from a base salary on offer through central contracts.<\/p>\n
Mithali said \u201ceverything takes time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne step at a time. The team has been doing very well for the past four or five years,\u201d the cricket great said. \u201cWe are entering a new era for women cricketers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
