The turning point came in 2022 when Jay Shah brought a clear plan for growth. India became the first major cricket nation to announce equal match fees for men and women. It was a strong message that women’s cricket deserved equal respect and recognition.

WPL Launch Changed Everything

In 2023, Jay Shah helped make the long awaited Women’s Premier League (WPL) a reality. It created a powerful platform for India’s female cricketers, offering financial stability and global visibility. Fans began following women’s cricket with greater passion, and players rose to the occasion.

Domestic Structure Boost In 2024

The momentum continued in 2024 as BCCI expanded the women’s domestic structure. More matches, better facilities and clear pathways were created for young girls to grow into professional players. Strong grassroots support gave rise to fearless talent.

Fair Prize Money In 2025

By 2025, the BCCI ensured equal prize money in both men’s and women’s tournaments. This showed that support for women’s cricket was not symbolic but long term and serious.

A Vision Paying Off

As India’s women celebrate their World Cup semi final win, it is only fair to acknowledge the leadership that backed them. Jay Shah’s commitment and administrative approach helped transform women’s cricket in India. Today, fans are witnessing the result, a confident and united team inspiring the country.
