The Indian women's team might be in for a fortune as if they manage to win the Women's World Cup, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to reward them the same amount as the men's team got after winning 2024 T20 World Cup.

It is believed that following the “equal pay” policy advocated by former BCCI secretary and now ICC chairman Jay Shah, the top brass is mulling on rewarding the squad with same amount that was given to the Rohit Sharma-led team after they had won the the T20 World Cup in the Americas last year.

The entire Indian senior men’s squad — including each and every players and support staff — was rewarded with a whopping reward of Rs. 125 crore for their performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup, where they defeated South Africa in the final.

“The BCCI supports equal pay for men and women and hence there are lot of discussions that if our girls win the World Cup, the reward won’t be anything less compared to men’s global triumph. But it isn’t nice to make an announcement before they win the Cup,” a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

It must be noted that when the Indian women’s team lost the 2017 World Cup final to England by 9 runs at the Lord’s, the BCCI had rewarded each playing member wih Rs 50 lakh each. Along with that, head coach (of the time) Tushar Arothe and other support staff also were rewarded handsomely.
