THE Professional Cricketers’ Association has stressed the widening gender pay gap in the Hundred “cannot be allowed to continue.”

Pay bandings have been uplifted for the competition’s 2025 season, but while the overall pot has grown by 25 per cent, the gulf between the earning potential of leading men and women is also on the rise.

The top salary band in the male squads is now £200,000, compared with £65,000 in the women’s game, taking the differential at the highest level from £75,000 in 2024 to £135,000 this summer.
