00:00 First of all, Smriti, I would like to congratulate you to get a gold medal in Asian Games.
00:06 I am truly thrilled to be here today, surrounded by so many bright children,
00:14 for an initiative that plays our beloved game, cricket, which is very close to my heart.
00:19 Cricket is not just sports for us, but cricket is not just sports for us,
00:25 but it's an emotion that connects every Indian.
00:29 From the youngest to the oldest, I firmly believe that sports, especially cricket,
00:34 have the incredible power to foster social harmony and unite our diverse nation.
00:41 As you are knowing that we are living in an era of women empowerment,
00:47 BCCI just did pay parity for men and women.
00:51 So I am pleased to inform you that after our decision,
00:55 US Open Tennis, English Cricket Board and ICC did pay parity for men and women.
01:02 BCCI has undertaken several initiatives to promote gender equality in the world of cricket.
01:11 Our board has been at the forefront, creating a new wave of equality
01:17 with initiatives like pay parity, which has significantly boosted women's cricket
01:22 and provided strong support to our female cricketers.
