CHALLENGE: WORLD CUP WIN WON'T CLOSE GENDER GAP
-
India's historic Women's World Cup victory has sparked an excitement which it is hoped will inspire the next generation and draw new fans to the sport.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expected to meet the winners today, believes the “historic win will motivate future champions to take up sports”.
Hosts India defeated South Africa by 52 runs on Sunday, claiming their first-ever Women's World Cup.
At the top level, gender parity has long been championed by former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah, who introduced equal match fees for men and women.
The 50-over World Cup also boasted a record $13.88 million prize purse, eclipsing the men's total from two years ago.
Shah, now International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman, hailed the win, citing the BCCI's “increased investment, pay parity with male cricketers (and), overhaul of the coaching staff”.
