A salary cap per team of $6m has been mooted, more than 15 times the figure in the Women’s Big Bash League.The 30-year-old Jonassen, who has recovered from a hamstring injury and is available to return to national duty for the first ODI against Pakistan at Brisbane’s Allan Border Field on Monday, said women’s cricket was about to take a giant leap forward.
“It puts the game on the map even more. There is a genuine pathway domestically starting to shine through. If girls can continue to see where cricket can take them, the levels it can take them and the experiences they can gain out of that … then I am all for it.” “Without a doubt,” she said. “To potentially be part of the first one would be incredibly special so I will put my hat in the ring.”
