Pointing out the differential behaviour of BCCI, she

said, "BCCI constitution says cricket and it doesn't say men or women. What is given to the men's cricketers should be given to women's cricketers too. We requested them for the one time benefit. We told them we are not expecting you to pay us crores of rupees. We gave them a figure 1-10 Test matches Rs 10 lakh, 11-19 test matches Rs 20 lakh and the above Rs 30 lakh. They (BCCI) said no, we don't have the money. Then for the pension we had to fight. We are getting Rs 15,000 that too for people who have played five test matches or more." She added that unlike the Pakistan Cricket Board that offers its women players central contract, the BCCI has not implemented it which is shameful. "The support that the other boards are giving their players is evident from the body language. Even Pakistan that restricts so much, has central contracts , which I think if we cannot have, is really a shameful thing," the 57-year-old said. Emphasising on the need for male coaches, Edulji said, "I have nothing against Anju Jain, she was a great player. But she has played with some of these girls. She is not going to be able to demand or motivate these girls. We need someone who has played very good cricket. Pakistan has a male coach, Sri Lanka has a male coach then why India can't have a male coach. Why aren't we planning. The support staff is sub-standard." Former Test cricketer Dilip Sardesai's wife Nandini Sardesai said, "The World Cup will at least inspire, motivate, the authorities to take a good hard look at themselves and realise that they are not doing enough for Indian women's cricket and take positive steps to see that things improve and see that women are put on par with men." Mundkur said the book highlights the journey she started in New Zealand till the time she hung her boots and added that the tips she received from Sunil Gavaskar and others helped her reach the level she wanted to play at.
