A small step for cricket, a giant leap for womankind - chairman - 05-08-2014
The England Cricket Board has, for the first time, awarded women with professional playing contracts. It’s also been announced that there are plans for a women’s Big Bash League in two years’ time. There are still massive disparities in pay, exposure and everything else, but at least there is a slow but tangible push from the powers that be for progressing the women’s game.

Wow they took such a long time to do that, anyway better late than never

Yeah what Jesuina said. At least a step in the right direction. I don't know if woman's BBL would materialize, I REALLY hope it does - although I do know that there's less viewership and whatnot.
Either way equal pay would be hopefully achieved soon.
