The England cricketer Sarah Glenn has called on the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to introduce equal pay for women’s cricket umpires and said she was “surprised” by the huge disparity in fees between the men’s and women’s game revealed by the Guardian on Monday.
Speaking in the buildup to England’s third T20 international against Sri Lanka at Derby, the leg-spinner Glenn said that, following the recent decision to equalise the match fees for the England women’s and men’s teams with immediate effect, the right to equal pay should be extended to the officials in charge.
