It is very difficult to find a proper time to allot a schedule for a tournament, given the sheer quantity of cricket that India plays throughout the year. And therefore the inaugural WIPL will be sandwiched between the Women’s T20 World Cup and the Men’s IPL. It has been understood that a buffer period of one week will be provided for the ground to recover, given that WIPL and IPL will take place on the same stadium.

“We are in the final stages of discussion for the schedule. It should be out early next month. There will be an IPL GC meeting after the Women’s IPL teams are finalised. We will finalise the list then. For now, the idea is to complete the IPL by May end as the WTC Final is in the 2nd week of June. It should start on April 1. That’s the idea,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.
