The reforms include the equalisation of match-day pay for ICC umpires, regardless of whether they are officiating men's or women's cricket matches. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The initiative, which is set to be implemented in January 2024, marks a pivotal moment in cricket's history, as it takes another stride towards equal opportunities in the sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Chief Executives\u2019 Committee (CEC) also recommended including at least one neutral umpire in every series of the ICC Women\u2019s Championship, in line with the long-standing practice in men\u2019s international cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The changes to the gender eligibility regulations resulted from an extensive consultation process and are founded in science, aligning with the core principles developed during the review,\" remarked ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The ICC Board also approved new gender eligibility regulation for women\u2019s cricket according to which male-to-female participants who have undergone male puberty will not be eligible to compete in the international women\u2019s game, irrespective of any surgical or gender reassignment treatment they may have undertaken.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
ICC will revisit these regulations within two years to align with the sport's evolving landscape. At the domestic level, though, these regulations will remain under the jurisdiction of individual member boards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/icc-announces-landmark-equal-match-day-pay-for-female-match-officials.jpg", "alt_img": "ICC announces landmark equal match-day pay for female match officials", "alt_title": "All-female match officials appointed for ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup Final", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ICC Announces Landmark Equal Match-day Pay For Female Match Officials On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ICC Announces Landmark Equal Match-day Pay For Female Match Officials, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice: In a ground-breaking decision on Tuesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced equal pay for.", "seo_keywords": "International Cricket Council, The Chief Executives, ICC Women, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice, The ICC Board", "tag": "", "tagging": "International Cricket Council, The Chief Executives, ICC Women, The ICC Board", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "icc-announces-landmark-equal-match-day-pay-for-female-match-officials", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1218", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-21 19:56:03", "updated": "2023-11-21 19:56:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "International Cricket Council, The Chief Executives, ICC Women, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice, The ICC Board", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-21 19:56:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/icc-announces-landmark-equal-match-day-pay-for-female-match-officials-132735" }
