    T20 World Cup final in Australia highlights India's gender pay gap - Reuters Discover Thomson Reuters Directory of sites Login Contact Support SPONSORED Business Markets World Politics TV More BIG STORY 10 MARCH 6, 2020 / 8:48 PM / 5 MONTHS AGO T20 World Cup final in Australia highlights India's gender pay gap Annie Banerji 6 MIN READ NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When defending champions Australia compete in the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup final in Melbourne on Sunday, they will earn the same as their male counterparts would - in stark contrast to their rivals, India. That the match, expected to attract a sell-out crowd of mainly Australian cricket fans, takes place on International Women’s Day has only intensified the debate surrounding the gender pay gap that India’s sportswomen have to contend with. In cricket-mad India, male players are revered as gods, paid handsomely and showered with lucrative endorsement deals, from watches and shoes to snacks, headphones and even toothbrushes. The women barely get a look-in. Sports analysts say they are trapped in a vicious cycle - without the right resources, they face a disadvantage when playing at the top level, which in turn means they are less likely to get investment. “The women’s game is stuck, like Cinderella, at the hearth while the men are off partying,” said Prem Panicker, a senior cricket journalist who has written extensively about the issue. “And that is unfair to the women, to the game and to us spectators.” A-list women cricketers including T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur, opener Smriti Mandhana and spinner Poonam Yadav make about $68,000 each annually despite progressively better performances, including reaching the 50-over World Cup final in 2017.

Watching Smriti Mandhana at her best is like watching poetry in motion. There is to her batting an elegance that soothes the eye, warms the heart. “She reminds me of Sourav Ganguly,” says W.V. Raman, coach of Indian women’s team and someone who knows a thing or two about graceful left-handed batting. Smriti is not just the most stylish batter in Women’s Cricket but one of the most feared as well - she sits atop the ICC’s ODI rankings. “Becoming the world’s best batter was something that I always wanted,” says Smriti. She has reached there at the age of 22 with 1,951 runs at an average of 42.41 and a strike rate of 83.51 from 50 ODIs. 2. Striking at close to 120 in T20s, she is also sought after by franchises in the leagues of Australia and England. She was the leading run scorer and the ‘Player of the Tournament’ in the England and Wales Cricket Board’s Kia Super League last year. She will re- join Western Storm for the upcoming edition. Smriti is poised to carry forward the legacy of Mithali Raj, a world-class performer whose example has served as an inspiration for two decades, especially at moments when the game’s survival faced challenges.

  • Read Harmanpreet Kaur's Letter to BCCI in Full
    Respected All , I am writing to bring it under your notice that how tremendously our team has gone under positive changes in the past few months and has set a benchmark in the world top teams. Our defeat in the semi finals was very disheartening and it brings us all to feel more miserable ,to see how the controversies (post world cup )has stained our image and questioned the entire cricket fraternity . Having kept in mind the confidence of each player that has build in the past three months , I tried to avoid and exceed the controversies blemishing our reputation . Sir Ramesh Powar not only improved us as players but did motivate us to set targets and challenge our own limits . He has changed the face of Indian women’s cricket team both technically and strategically. He has inculcated in us the sense of winning . With regard to the exclusion of Mithali Raj , Sir Ramesh Powar was not single handedly responsible. The decision was entirely based on the cricketing logics and observations from the past. Keeping in mind the need of the hour where me , Smriti , the selector(Sudha Shah) and the coach together in the presence of our manager felt that we should go ahead with the winning combination . And I believe it should have come to your understanding that the intent was not personal but entirely based for the welfare of the team . Cutting the conversation short , I , as the T-20 captain and One day Vice caption is appealing before you to allow Mr Ramesh Powar to further continue as our team coach .
