    Australian Women Cricketers To Get Pay Rise But 'Big Gap' Still Substantial

    By AFP News October 13, 2021 • 14:09 PM View: 2286

    Cricket Australia CEO Hockley said the increase was a step forward but admitted that there’s ‘still a really big gap, as compared to their male counterparts.
    Australia’s women cricketers will get a pay rise this year, administrators said while admitting that wages will still fall well short of the men’s game.

    Retainers for Big Bash League players will increase about 14 per cent, Cricket Australia said, and players in the domestic cricket league will see a 22 per cent rise.
    Australia captain Meg Lanning said it was vindication. “When you properly invest in female sport the results follow and everyone benefits -– the game, the fans and the players,” she said.
