World Cup trophy<\/a> last month, triggering renewed focus on player welfare, financial stability, and long-term structural support.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile India achieved full pay parity in international cricket, domestic competitions still reflect a noticeable disparity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BCCI is now prepared to revise match fees across all domestic women\u2019s tournaments, including the Senior One-Day competition, Senior Women\u2019s T20 league, and multi-day formats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The discussion around pay revisions has intensified not just because of the World Cup success but also due to the rising talent pool emerging from state teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many promising young players still struggle to pursue cricket full-time because domestic earnings are often insufficient to cover training, equipment, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A revised pay structure could help bridge this gap and ensure women cricketers receive the security and recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upcoming meeting will also hold significance because it will be chaired by Mithun Manhas, the newly elected BCCI president, marking his first Apex Council session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His leadership is expected to bring a fresh perspective, especially on issues related to player contracts, professional pathways, and grassroots development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Umpires and match referees, who form the backbone of domestic cricket, are also expected to benefit from the review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BCCI is considering revising their match fees as well, acknowledging the vital role they play in ensuring smooth conduct of matches across the domestic circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect from the December 22 Meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The revision of payments for women cricketers is listed as a critical item on the six-point agenda for the Apex Council meeting, which will be chaired by the newly elected president, Mithun Manhas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If approved, the revision will be hailed as one of the most important administrative steps taken by the board this year, significantly impacting hundreds of female athletes across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The potential increase is expected to cover:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Senior One-Day Trophy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Senior T20 Trophy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Multi-day Competitions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Age-group tournaments (U23, U19, U15)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The commitment to address this long-standing financial disparity is a testament to the growing stature of women\u2019s cricket in India and the BCCI’s intention to support its foundation with professional, competitive pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":126,"template":"","tags":[67,68,66],"ppma_author":[493],"class_list":["post-119","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bcci-december-meeting","tag-bcci-women-cricketers-pay","tag-women-cricketers-pay"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
