In October, the BCCI approved a five-team WIPL at the AGM. The board also finalised a 22-match format for the tournament. Existing men’s IPL franchises too have shown interest in acquiring the franchises. However, till now the stakeholders are undecided on how to distribute the franchises.
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur believes the WIPL will help domestic players get some much-needed exposure just like it did to WBBL and The Hundred women’s leagues.
“The IPL is a huge step forward for women’s cricket because, before this, we have witnessed the Australia Board, England Board, they have looked after the WBBL and The Hundred. I think we as athletes have discussed it as well, that there’s a big gap between domestic and international cricket which some cricketers were not able to match, because even if you play well in domestic cricket and then suddenly play international games, you’re not able to understand what to do and how to do it.”
