27 OCTOBER 2022- Th day will be remembered in Indian Cricket History.
Board Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that All the centrally contracted male and female cricketers will have equal match fees across all formats.
While speaking on BatBricks7 Presents Run Ki Runneeti show on CricTracker, Farookh Engineer heaped praises on the Indian cricketing board as he said:
“I am proud of BCCI. I’m really proud that they have taken the initiative. You know, women’s cricket is getting a lot of importance, a lot of coverage, and I for one, personally, I’m absolutely delighted that women are getting paid just as much as men. I think other sports, like tennis, golf, and all, will realize that women are not inferior.”
“Okay, the men’s game attracts bigger audiences, bigger television viewers, and all that so you can understand why the men’s wages are a bit higher. But I think it’s lovely for BCCI to take the initiative and be the first one to have equal pay for the centrally contracted players. Shabash BCCI, I salute you for that,” Engineer added.
