The long wait for Indian women cricketers ended when newly-elected BCCI President Shashank Manohar announced central contracts for them, 11 years after the system was introduced for their male counterparts. Former India captain Diana Edulji said, it is a welcome decision but a lot more needs to be done for women's cricket. Edulji said this was expected too considering that the finance committee had cleared it. Like the male cricketers, women cricketers too need a sense of job security. She said what remains to be seen is the amount they will get in the contracts.
