Heather Knight says equal pay felt “a very long way off” when she made her England debut
Knight and her team-mates are set to benefit from the change for the first time on Thursday evening during the opening match of their Vitality IT20 series against Sri Lanka at Hove.The 32-year-old admits she could not have envisaged pay parity with the men when she made her England debut in 2010.“Back then it felt like a very long way off and it’s remarkable how things have progressed.
It said women were paid 25 per cent of men’s fees for white-ball and 15 per cent for Tests by the England and Wales Cricket Board. “It’s another really good step forward for the game,” she continued. “It’s kind of reward from what’s been a remarkable summer. “It’s really pleasing but hopefully there are more things down the line that will continue to improve.”England could hand debuts to wicketkeeper-batter Bess Heath and 17-year-old fast bowler Mahika Gaur for their sold-out series opener against Sri Lanka in Sussex.
