BCCI adopts gender-equity policy with full match-fee parity
The BCCI Apex Council adopted a policy establishing equal match fees for male and female cricketers in senior domestic tournaments. The parity applies to multi-day, one-day, and T20 inter-state competitions. The decision covers domestic cricket rather than international match payments. It represents an institutional move toward gender equality in Indian cricket. The measure is relevant to debates on women’s participation and sports governance. The BCCI is India’s national cricket governing body, although it is not a statutory government organisation.[1]
