IN what comes as a major boost for women cricketers, the BCCI has massively increased the domestic match fee after Harmanpreet Kaur and her team lifted the World Cup last month.

Per the latest revision, a senior women cricketer will receive %50,000 per day as match fee (playing member) for one-dayers and multi-day events and %25,000 for T20s (playing member). For the reserves, it would be 25,000 and 212,500, respectively. Previously, the playing XI member would get ~20,000 and the reserve player would get 710000. Meanwhile, for age-group cricketers, the new pay would be 25,000 for one-dayers and 212,500 for reserves (one-dayers and T20s).
