Equal Prize Money Announced For ICC Events: A big decision has been taken regarding the women’s and men’s ICC events at the ongoing ICC Annual Conference of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in Durban. To give new momentum to women’s cricket, ICC has now decided to give the same amount of prize money in women’s events as in men’s events. The Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jai Shah has expressed his happiness by tweeting about this decision of the ICC.

Until now, women did not receive as much prize money as men in ICC events. Now by the year 2030 this thing will be made uniform. Now the prize money will be the same in ODI, T20 and other ICC tournaments which are played for men and women.

Regarding this decision, ICC Chairman Greg Barclay said that this is a big and historic decision of ours and I am happy that now men and women players will get the same prize money in ICC events. Since 2017, we have increased the prize money in women’s events every year with a clear focus on achieving equal prize money.
