In a massive move, the BCCI has approved a sharp hike in match fees for women domestic cricketers, bringing their earnings almost on par with their male counterparts in India’s domestic circuit. It was already the case on the international level. Women’s domestic match fees get upgraded Under the revised structure, senior women cricketers will now earn ₹50,000 per day for every domestic one-day and multi-day match they play. That figure applies to all members of the playing XI. Non-playing squad members will receive ₹25,000 per match. In T20 competitions, the playing XI will earn ₹25,000 per match, while reserves will take home ₹12,500. To put that into perspective, senior women players were earlier paid ₹20,000 per match if they were in the XI and ₹10,000 if they were on the bench. The jump is not marginal. It is transformational. Junior women cricketers have also been included i...

Some defeats don’t just stay on the scoreboard. They sit quietly in the mind, replaying themselves long after the crowd has gone home. November 19, 2023 was one such day for Indian cricket , and for Rohit Sharma, it was a breaking point. No Indian fan wants to utter that date, as they all have a dark memory of watching Glenn Maxwell hit those winning runs and crushing India’s deserving win.
