Equal Prize Money Announced For ICC Events: In the ongoing ICC Annual Conference of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in Durban, a big decision has been taken regarding the women’s and men’s ICC events. In order to give new momentum to women’s cricket, ICC has now decided to give prize money similar to the prize money received in men’s events in women’s events as well. Jai Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has expressed his happiness by tweeting about this decision of ICC.
Till now, women did not get the same prize money as compared to men in ICC events. Now by the year 2030, this thing will be made uniform. Now ODI, T20 and other ICC tournaments which are played in men and women will see the same prize money.
Regarding this decision, ICC Chairman Greg Barclay said that this is a big and historic decision for us and I am happy that now male and female players will get equal prize money in ICC events. Since 2017, we have increased the prize money in the women’s events every year with a clear focus on reaching equal prize money.
BCCI Secretary Jai Shah expressed his happiness
Regarding this historic decision, BCCI Secretary Jai Shah expressed his happiness by tweeting that I am very happy about this decision, now the discrimination between men and women teams has been completely abolished. Both the teams will now be able to move forward together. I would like to thank all the members involved in the board regarding this decision.
And
I am thrilled to announce that a major step towards gender parity & inclusivity has been undertaken. The prize money at all @ICC events will be same for men & women. Together we grow…
