As part of this, it is vital that our players are paid the right wages, and that cricket is seen not only as a viable career option for women, but as an attractive option. Every decision we are making is about making cricket as attractive a sport for young girls as it is for boys. We know we still have work to do in this area but we are moving fast.

Big blow to Lalit Modi, ECB rejected the proposal to buy The Hundred tournament
Some time ago, the ECB had opened the doors for private players to participate in the tournament. Lalit Modi. (Photo Source: Twitter) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has rejected the proposal by former IPL chairman Lalit Modi to buy their domestic tournament The Hundred for 10 years. If media reports are to be believed, the ECB does not want to spoil its relations with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which is currently the biggest stakeholder in the cricket world. It is noteworthy that Modi is currently in London and since 2013, he is banned from participating in IPL and any other type of cricket activity in India. Lalit Modi was the brain behind starting IPL. However, after this he had proposed to the ECB to do something similar to IPL with ‘The Hundred’, but now he has got a big shock. Recently, Lalit Modi’s representatives met senior ECB officials Vikram Banerjee and Richard Good, in which they expressed their desire to invest in the tournament. Regarding this issue, ECB Chairman Richard Thomson quoted the British Daily as saying that he will consider only a proposal worth a few billion dollars. The ECB had planned to sell only the equity while keeping the ownership of the tournament with itself. Also, let us tell you that before Lalit Modi, Bridgepoint Group had already invested 400 million dollars and proposed 75 percent stake to the ECB for stake in The Hundred. But till now no updates have come out regarding this deal. Modi had estimated the annual income of The Hundred at 100 million dollars. In a recent interview given to Cricbuzz, Lalit Modi had said that by investing in The Hundred tournament, he wants to make it a 10-team tournament. Also, with the conversion of the 100-ball game to T20 format, the team purse should be increased to $10 million (Rs 83 crore). After this, Modi had expressed hope that the tournament could generate an income of 100 million dollars every year.
ECB took this big step for structural change in women’s cricket, also made this request to the county teams
This move by ECB will bring a taste of local flavor to the lost club cricket. England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has taken a big step towards structural change in women’s cricket in the country. The ECB has said that county teams need to show their will, so that women’s club cricket can be revived once again in the country. So in this regard, the governing body has invited tenders from county teams for 8 tier 1 professional women’s cricket clubs. So this step is being considered as the biggest change in the fields of women’s cricket in England in the last 5 years. The new structure will replace the current structure which has been in place since 2020. Under the previous arrangement, all county teams played cricket in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, which was under the direct control of the ECB. More than one team used to participate in these tournaments. On the other hand, the reason behind the change in the current structure by the ECB is to solve the problem which has affected the regional teams for some time. The ECB is working on bringing together all county and club women’s teams before the start of 2025. This step of the board, apart from helping the teams to create their own identity, will also increase regional participation in the game, which is currently lacking. This will make it easier for the board to market women’s cricket, and the responsibility, ownership and operation of club teams will be handed over to the club. Regarding this step of the board, Beth Barrett-Wild, Director of Professional Women’s Sports at ECB, quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – The regional model was launched in the year 2020, in which it was said that women’s cricket should be professionalized as soon as possible. Was. I think a fantastic job has been done on it. But we have 88 professional women cricketers in 8 club teams, who are ready to play 102 matches in the coming year.
