In a generation where men cricketers are earning in crores, you will be shocked to hear how much a Bangladeshi women team member get as their match fees. Till last year’s National Cricket League they used to get BDT 500 for each match but now it has been increased to BDT 600 per match. It is simply pathetic that in today’s generation they get as low as Bangladesh taka 600. BDT 600 is equivalent to a mere Rs. 480 in Indian currency.

The question which is bound to be raised is how this is even possible at today’s age. Bangladesh women’s team skipper Rumana Ahmed expressed his disappointment at their match fees. “The amount is very little. It’s very disappointing. We feel humiliated at this,” quipped the national captain.

Another member of the team Awal Chowdhury Bulu also expressed the same opinion and couldn’t believe that they are paid so less. “Sponsors come up with millions in men’s cricket, but when it comes to women’s cricket, they don’t want to give away anything at all. We tried a lot to bring in some specific sponsors, but we failed,” she said.

The fixed salaries of the women cricketers are pretty low too. The 17 cricketers there in the women’s team they are divided into 3 groups and are paid BDT 30,000, BDT 20,000 and BDT 10,000 respectively according to their grades. A few days earlier the BCB increased the hike of the men’s team by a considerable margin.

When the issue was raised that why the women’s cricketer’s fees haven’t been increased during a press conference on Friday BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon said they had ‘forgotten’ to do anything with the female cricketers. It is a matter of shame that in the same countrymen players are given so much and the female doesn’t even get their dues.

A team representative of Bengal played against G. F. Vernon's XI , the first English team to visit the Indian sub-continent, in 1889–90. [2] In January 1923, Bengal took part in the Nagpur Provincial Tournament with
Bombay and a Central Provinces XI. [3] In 1934, the Board of Control for Cricket in India organised the Ranji Trophy but Bengal did not take part in 1934–35. Bengal achieved first-class status in December 1935 when they played the Australian tourists and were defeated by 9 wickets. In January 1936, Bengal joined the Ranji Trophy, playing in the East Zone, and reached the semi-final where they lost to Madras. In 1937, Bengal were runners-up and, in 1939, winners of the Ranji Trophy. Throughout this period, Bengal was essentially a West Bengal team. They were based in Calcutta and played all their matches at Eden Gardens . The earliest match of note in Dhaka was in February 1941 when a Bengal Governor's XI played the Bengal Gymkhana at the Bangabandhu National Stadium , then called the Dacca Stadium.

The 2000–01 season saw the beginning of first-class domestic competition as the NCL was upgraded in status. Development has gathered pace in the 21st century with a notable improvement in playing standards. Bangladesh has hosted several international competitions and has successfully launched new domestic competitions including the lucrative Bangladesh Premier League.
==Cricket in Bengladesh== Cricket was first introduced into Bengal by the British East India Company in the 18th century and the first cricket matches recorded were eww in
Calcutta in 1792, but matches were possibly played more than a decade earlier and the sport quickly achieved popularity in western Bengal and neighbouring Bihar. In eastern Bengal, the area which is now Bangladesh, cricket developed very slowly as the area failed to attract large numbers of European settlers until the second half of the 19th century. The problems were the region's eww predominantly rural eww character and its lack of infrastructure given that it had numerous rivers and travel was extremely difficult. The confluence of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra is in central Bangladesh and the coastal area consists of the Sundarbans mangrove forest and the Ganges Delta. The British saw it as a remote region with few economic incentives. Improvement was gradual and it was not until the 1860s and 1870s that the British built the new roads that facilitated communication. Work was done to improve water supplies, with a consequent boost to public health, and Europeans began to settle in Dhaka with cricket soon becoming one of their favourite recreational activities, as had happened elsewhere in India. In 1876, a European XI met and defeated a Native XVIII in Dhaka.

The history of cricket in Bangladesh predates the foundation of the Bangladeshi state in 1971 by nearly two centuries. Cricket was introduced to Bengal by the British in the 18th century but its growth in East Bengal was slow. Following Partition and the creation of
East Pakistan , both first-class and Test cricket were played there during the 1950s and 1960s. Although cricket continued to be popular after independence, especially in
Dhaka, the country lost first-class status and had to establish itself in international competition as an Associate Member of the
International Cricket Council (ICC).
After winning the 1997 ICC Trophy and making a good showing at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh created its National Cricket League (NCL) in 1999–2000 to prepare the way for Full Membership of the ICC. This was granted in 2000 and the
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was formally established. In November 2000, the
Bangladesh national team played its inaugural Test match against India at the
Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.
