ICC Increases Women’s T20 World Cup Prize Money To $7.9 Million Next month’s Women’s T20 World Cup will offer a record total of $7.96 million in prize money, organising body the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Tuesday. The winners of the tournament will receive $2.34 million, more than double the $1 million awarded to Australia for winning the previous edition of the tournament in 2023. India received $2.45 million earlier this year for winning the men’s T20 World Cup, which handed out a total of $11.25 million. “This move is in line with the ICC’s strategy to prioritise the women’s game and accelerate its growth by 2032,” the ICC said in a statement. “Teams will now receive equal prize money for the equivalent finishing position at comparable events as well as the same amount for winning a match at those events. “The men’s T20 World Cup 2024 event prize money is only higher on account of 10 additional teams participating and 32 more matches played.” The losing finalists will walk away with $1.17 million, while each of the 10 participating teams are assured of $112,500. The Women’s T20 World Cup, scheduled for Oct. 3 to 20, was moved to the United Arab Emirates from Bangladesh, which has been rocked by political turmoil and violence in recent months.

SC Questions West Bengal Govt’s ‘No Night Shift’ Policy For Women Doctors

The Supreme Court on Tuesday questioned the West Bengal government’s decision to prevent women doctors from working night shifts and beyond 12 hours.

A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, was hearing a suo motu case regarding the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The court said that women seek equal opportunities, not special concessions, and emphasized that women doctors are willing to work under all conditions. It also reminded the state of its duty to ensure the safety of women doctors.

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the West Bengal government, informed the court that the restriction would be revoked, saying that it was a temporary security measure. Sibal assured the apex court that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had guaranteed no punitive actions would be taken against doctors choosing to return to work.

Additionally, the court criticized a lawyer’s application calling for the resignation of CM Mamata Banerjee, stating that the court is not a venue for political disputes.
