Cricinfo's Jenny Roester speculates that BCCI might put the Indian women cricketers under players contract.
If her speculation comes true, women cricketers in India can expect a windfall.
For example Cricket Australia has announced a contribution of $ 500,00 for the team members.
According to the CA, the scheme includes the following components:
CA announcement follows ECB's announcement three months earlier which said that English women cricketers will receive coaching contracts where they will work as coaches in schools and clubs in their respective areas.
Lets hope the BCCI outstrips both ECB and CA and compensate our women cricketers generously.

that is definitely good for women cricket.
i did not really understand what the ECB has done though.
no surprises there really :)
Our womens team deserves it more than the mens team
Maybe it will eventually lead to a W-IPL.
APD,
I could get much information on ECB's contract. It was generalised.
R,
You don't say? :)
RS,
It will follow.
seems to be good news for Women cricket.
Atleast this will ensure some carrer in that part of game.
let we all live long enough to see that day...
Nenao,
Firstly, a warm welcome to this community.
Absolutely, this will make women consider cricket as another career option.
Pan,
May we all live long otherwise. :)
thanks for correcting me OTT...may we all live long enough...
Could you correct my spelling OTT...
Its neno and not Nenao
Ottayan,
u meant couldn't?
so now we are seeing a step towards commercialization of women's cricket, which will lead to better players.
man i am excited, women cricketers have been doing a phenomenal job and a little reward for that was mandatory.
APD/ Neno,
I stand corrected.
