Can't read the article through the paywall but heard about this on the radio this morning and my understanding is this is specifically for players on the national teams.

As in the standard fee paid to the players for international test matches while representing India will be the same for both the men's and the women's teams.

It doesn't mean like private clubs or leagues or however cricket in general is structured in India (I'm definitely no expert on that subject) are all going to have to pay male and female players equal.

Yes, BCCI will pay women Cricketers who play for team India in international cricket the same as they the men playing international cricket for India.

And not just test matches, ODIs and T20s as well. Women's team plays like 1 test match in 2-3 years, men's team plays around 15-16 every year.

They are going to start a League for women like IPL, big cash money league. All teams are allotted the exact same budget and then Players are auctioned into teams so whatever Budget is decided by BCCI will again decide how much money they get.

It also doesn’t apply to the players’ salaries, only the match fees. So everyone bleating about them being paid the same despite differing revenues has fundamentally misunderstood the facts of the story.
