Bengaluru, Apr 1 (PTI) Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Wednesday decided to extend a monthly pension to former women cricketers, who have represented the state in the Senior Women’s National Championship.

The pension will be given to players who have attained the age of 55, and they should not be drawing a similar benefit from the BCCI.

“This initiative is aimed at recognising and honouring valuable contributions made by former women cricketers to the state,” said KSCA secretary Santosh Menon.

Menon said the eligible players will have to submit documents to substantiate their representation and details of the number of matches they have played for the state. PTI UNG PDS PDS
