[Ironhide]

Good to see contracts for the women's team, this will ensure that players can consider cricket as a profession as they will have a annual contract along with the usual match fees.

The BCCI finance committee has decided to implement the women's retainer system in two grades from October 1. While Grade A players will draw Rs 10 lakh per annum, players in Grade B will be given a retainer of Rs 5 lakh. The number of players to be offered retainers will be finalised by chief selector Shanta Rangaswamy in consultation with the BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur and president Jagmohan Dalmiya.
