The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is preparing to revisit the financial remuneration of women cricketers in domestic competitions during its Apex Council gathering on December 22. Reports suggest that updated match fees and payment structures for female players are expected to be deliberated.
Following the India Women’s team triumph in the ODI World Cup, calls for better compensation had intensified. While international players already enjoy equal pay, disparities remain in the domestic circuit, prompting the BCCI to formally place the topic on the virtual meeting agenda.
Another significant point under discussion will be the central contract renewals for senior men cricketers, with particular attention on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have stepped away from two international formats. Fans and analysts are eager to see how their contracts will be graded in the upcoming cycle.
In addition, the council is expected to review payment scales for match officials, including umpires and referees, with a decision anticipated during the 7 PM session on December 22.
