Diana Edulji Recuses Herself From Discussion On Women’s Cricket

Former India women’s cricket captain Diana Edulji, one of the four-member of the Committee of Administrators (CoA), opted out when matters related to women’s cricket were discussed on the second day of the meeting of the Supreme Court-appointed panel in New Delhi.

The BCCI, on Wednesday (March 22), doubled the annual retainer fee for the male cricketers in central contracts and also increased the match fee. After that, the CoA, running the BCCI, was expected to discuss the monetary matters of the women cricketers as well as the junior cricketers.

The women cricketers have been demanding an increase in monthly pensions and the one-time benefit scheme just like the BCCI did for their male counterparts in 2015 but nothing concrete has materialised yet in this regard.

Former skipper Shantha Rangaswamy had even requested the CoA to consider the women cricketers’ longstanding plea of one-time benefit scheme and increase in the monthly pension and she has reportedly got a positive response from the panel.

Meanwhile, the Vinod Rai-led panel also discussed the financial matters related to the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. The panel will also meet the staging bodies of the T20 tournament on March 30.
