The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has substantially increased the payments for the women domestic cricketers. The women players will now have their match-fee at par with the men in domestic cricket.

As per the revised pay structure, the women players will be paid INR 50,000 per day in every domestic one-day and multi-day games they play. This fee is applied for all the members of the Playing XI. The non-playing members will earn INR 25,000 per match. For T20 matches, the fees will be INR 25,000 for the playing XI, and INR 12,500 for reserves.

This revision is an extension of the board's policy on pay parity in the Indian cricketing ecosystem. Per the existing structure, senior women in the playing XI are paid INR 20,000 with those on the bench get INR 10,000.
