Women's cricket pay equity

From Afternoons, 1:10 pm on 5 July 2022

First today, a ground-breaking agreement has been struck which will see both New Zealand's professional women's and men's cricketers receive the same pay for the same work on the same day.

The five-year deal, which is the first in which the men's and women's professional environments have been combined in one agreement.

To explain, Jesse talks to New Zealand Cricket Players Association Chief Executive Heath Mills.
