Just Like 1983 Win Changed Men’s Cricket, 2025 Triumph Will Redefine Women’s Game In India, Says DDCA Director Shyam Sharma
DDCA Director Shyam Sharma: The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) director Shyam Sharma said India’s 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup triumph is a watershed moment, saying the way the 50-over trophy win in 1983 reshaped men’s cricket, the same will now happen for women’s cricket in the country.
“This is very big and humungous. With the way Sachin wrote and the thought that has been in the minds of many Indians, it is that the way the 1983 World Cup win changed the face of men’s cricket in India, this World Cup win will change the profile of women’s cricket in the country. This era hasn’t begun now – it's been going on for the last five-six years. When Jay Shah was BCCI Secretary, women’s cricket got wings.”
“He got (international) match fees equalised and began the WPL, a platform which began giving recognition to women cricketers, and people have got to know who are the players and what their skillsets are. People previously used to know only 2-3 players, now around 17.5 crore have seen the matches.”
