the past five years, the number of women cricketers on contract has not increased

the past five years, the number of women cricketers on contract has not increased: 5 crores for one male of Grade A, with a total contract of 5.1 crores for women.

The BCCI is the world’s wealthiest cricket organisation. He demonstrated this on Sunday by raising the domestic tournament’s prize pool. But occasionally, it still shows discrimination. Taking the central contract granted to Indian cricket players as an example. The central contracts of male and female cricketers differ from one another, but not in the way a well and a ditch do.

Women receive money in lakhs, while men receive it in crores. In addition to the disparity in the amount, the board also uses unfair criteria when awarding contracts. Male cricketers received contracts from BCCI on March 26, but women are still waiting. In the boards of other nations, this does not occur.
