They say that men and women are equal in all matters. But they don’t obey. For example, when it comes to cricket, men are paid one way and women are paid differently. Not only in India but all the teams in the world do not pay equal wages to the men’s team and the women’s team. Because it is a well-known fact that women’s cricket is not as popular as men’s cricket. But the popularity of women’s cricket is gradually increasing more than ever. That is why BCCI is organizing a tournament like IPL exclusively for women.

But for a long time, women cricketers have been demanding that they should be paid at par with men. Many former cricketers are also supporting them. New Zealand Cricket Board has recently taken a step in that direction. The New Zealand board has started to pay equal wages to women and men cricketers. The New Zealand Cricket Board and the Players’ Association on Tuesday signed an agreement to give equal pay to both categories of cricketers for five years. This Agreement applies to all formats and competitions. As a result, women cricketers will get the same salary as male cricketers. But due to more number of matches and formats played, men will earn more than women.
