		<lang class="3" colour="#000000" orgstyle="BODY new" style="Headline1"  font="Chai" fontStyle="Regular" size="12">Women cricketers will now receive Tk 10,000 for T20s, Tk 15,000 for one-dayers, and Tk 20,000 for longer formats. Salaries for 30-35 contracted women cricketers have been raised from Tk 30,000 to Tk 40,000 per month. For men’s cricketers, Category A salaries have been increased to Tk 65,000 (from Tk 35,000), Category B to Tk 50,000 (from Tk 30,000), and Category C to Tk 40,000 (from Tk 25,000) per month. Match fees for four-day games in the National Cricket League (NCL) and Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) have been raised from Tk 70,000 to Tk 100,000. The committee will immediately meet Dhaka Premier League teams to find a quick solution to start the competition. In line with government austerity measures amid the recent resource crisis, match timings for Bangladesh’s upcoming white-ball series against New Zealand will be adjusted.</lang>
