Under the new structure for women's cricketers, match fees in limited-overs formats have nearly doubled. In women's domestic cricket, the number of contracted players has risen to 35. For men's domestic cricket, the number of contracted players has increased slightly to 102 from 100 last year. Category 'A' players will now receive Taka 65,000 per month (up from Taka 28,750), 'B' players Taka 50,000 (up from Taka 23,000), and 'C' players Taka 40,000 (up from Taka 17,250). Explaining the decision, Tamim said domestic cricketers had long been underpaid regardless of their efforts.
