The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced a £3.5m increase in funding for the women’s regional game until the end of 2024.
The increase in funding will pave the way for more professional women cricketers and grow the salary pot.
From 1 November 2022, the number of professional players funded by ECB will go up to seven players per region and will rise to 10 by 1 February 2023.
In 2023, there will be 80 ECB-funded professional women’s domestic cricketers, double the 40 initially contracted in 2020, in addition to the England Women’s Centrally Contracted players.
The salary pot per team from 1 February will rise to £250,000, meaning the average salary for a women’s regional cricketer will be £25,000.
There has also been an increase in staffing salaries and capacity, with a focus on the science and medicine provision at each region.
