India women to get long-pending reward

They will receive their share from prize money for finishing runner-up in World T20

The Indian women cricketers, who made the final of last year’s World T20 in Australia, will receive their share from the $500,000 prize money by the end of this week, a senior BCCI official said on Sunday after it came to light that they are yet to be paid. A report in the UK’s Telegraph newspaper quoted an official from the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) as saying that the BCCI is yet to disburse the runner-up prize money of the global event, which was held in February-March last year. India was led by Harmanpreet Kaur at the marquee event, where it lost to Australia in the final.
