The Women\u2019s Premier League has been nothing short of a game-changer,\u201d Tendulkar said in his column for ICC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has provided the platform, visibility, and financial security that generations of women cricketers could only dream of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of credit must go to Jay Shah, who, during his time as BCCI secretary, pushed for equal match fees for men and women and laid the foundation for the WPL.
