Minimum starting salaries will be equal for men and women in domestic cricket from 2025.
The women’s domestic structure is being revamped from next season, with eight first-class counties hosting Tier 1 teams, rising to nine in 2026 and 10 in 2027.
A three-tiered county structure will replace the current regional model as part of a plan from the England and Wales Cricket Board to increase investment in women’s domestic cricket to £19m per annum by 2027. At the moment, regions have £250,000 to spend on salaries and the average women’s pay is £25,000 per year. Rookie contracts do not exist in the women’s game.
