The changes we have made to the structure of women’s domestic cricket over the last nine months are about creating a sustainable and viable product that is attractive off the field as well as quality on it. 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. England Cricket Board has taken this decision due to this report This decision by the England Cricket Board has been taken in view of the report of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) in June 2023, which calls for fundamental changes in the salary structure of England’s women’s cricket (fundamental overhaul) It has been said about.

Let us tell you, when the report came out, the minimum salary of men’s first-class county players was around £27,500.
