Equal starting salaries for cricket from 2025

The Straits Times

September 26, 2024

Women's minimum starting salaries in domestic cricket will be the same as men's from 2025, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Sept 25.

The women's domestic structure is being overhauled from the 2025 season, with eight counties hosting Tier-1 teams, increasing to nine the following year and 10 in 2027.

The equalisation of salaries will apply at "rookie" level, typically a player's first professional contract, and at the "senior pro" position, for those who have established themselves in first teams.

The BBC said the minimum salary for a rookie, likely to be a first professional deal, would be £20,000 (S$34,360) rising to £28,000 at senior pro level.

It has also been agreed that each of the eight first-class counties awarded Tier-1 status must invest at least £500,000 on player salary costs.

A salary cap of £800,000 has been confirmed, with minimum squad sizes of 15 contracted players.
