Just as the Indian Premier League (IPL) brought a revolution in Indian men’s cricket, the Indian fans and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now hoping the new found Women’s Premier League (WPL) bring in a new revolution in women’s cricket.
The Indian cricket team is one of the most strongest cricket team in the world and one of the big reason behind the team’s success is the success of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Premier Indian T20 cricket team. It is one of the biggest sporting league in the world financially and commercially.
But not only that, the Indian Premier League (IPL), since its inception in the year 2008, has brought forward many talented cricketers who have played for the Indian team. IPL teams go into the deeper world of Indian domestic and scouts hidden gems, who then when given opportunity, proves themselves and make a name for themselves and become one of the best.
Now despite the Indian men’s cricket team being one of the strongest team in the world, the same can’t be said for the women’s team. Ausntralia are the most dominant team in women’s, just like their men’s also dominates the men’s cricket.
And now to further strengthen the team, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has brought in a women’s equavalent to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
The competition will feature a total of 5 teams, 3 of them are already existing IPL franchises and 2 are owned by companies who don’t own a team in the IPL. Women’s players from India and all around the world will take part in the competition that begins from 4th March.
