Kate Cross Shares her concerns over Gender pay inequality in The Hundred

While speaking to Telegraph Sport recently, England Women's team bowler Kate Cross opined that low pay might result in many issues for female cricketers to participate in The Hundred. She later opened up about the hardships faced during this pandemic situation.

“I don’t want girls to drop out of cricket because they can’t afford to play. Until those lower brackets are topped up, you could have some girls dropping out of this [tournament] because, ultimately, it’s not worth their while with work. And the COVID state of affairs just isn’t serving to since you’ve acquired some women who’re having to drag out of work now. There’s no subsidy for them, as they aren’t allowed to exit of the atmosphere and work.”
