‘Some refuse to give credit...’: Sunil Gavaskar praises BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, says ‘what he achieved is commendable’

Live Mint  

Former India opener Sunil Gavaskar heaped praises for BCCI Secretary Jay Shah and said what he has achieved is commendable. He also added that some refuse to give him credit due to their “political agenda,” however, he lauded his contribution in launching Women's Premier League, implementing equal pay for women's and men's teams, raising IPL player fees, and boosting incentives. But I think what the current leadership has done is quite outstanding.” “Many people criticise Jay Shah, focusing on his father’s political position rather than his contributions. However, what Jay Shah has achieved like bringing in the Women’s Premier League, ensuring equal pay for the Women’s team as the Men’s, increasing fees for IPL players, and significantly boosting incentives—is commendable.
