Big news from the cricket world! ICC Hall of Famer Sachin Tendulkar has praised the amazing progress women’s cricket has made recently. In his ICC column, he said, “I must acknowledge the strides made in the past few years. The Women’s Premier League has been nothing short of a game-changer.” What makes Tendulkar so excited? The Women’s Premier League (WPL) has given women cricketers a golden stage filled with visibility and financial security. This was once just a dream for many. He also gave a special shoutout to Jay Shah. As BCCI secretary, Jay Shah pushed hard for equal match fees for men and women. This helped build the strong foundation for the WPL. Though these actions may seem like just official steps, Tendulkar says, “in reality, they change lives.” He added that these moves tell every young girl, “her passion is valued equally.” This message is powerful and inspiring! Not stopping there, Tendulkar praised the ICC for giving record prize money for the WPL. He said it even beat the prize money offered for the men’s World Cup in 2023. That’s a huge step forward! In short, women’s cricket is shining brighter than ever. Thanks to support from leaders like Jay Shah and organizations like ICC, the game is growing strong and proud. Women players now have a stage to sparkle and inspire many more fans.
