WPL Auction Had Special Significance Attached Due To Recent Success Of Women’s Team: Saikia
DY Patil Stadium: BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the recent success of the Indian women’s team lent special significance to the WPL auction held on Thursday, adding that the tournament can take women’s cricket to a different level in the coming years.
The WPL’s first-ever mega auction in New Delhi on Thursday saw 67 players picked, including 23 overseas cricketers, with all five franchises collectively spending Rs 40.8 crore. The fourth season of the WPL will run from January 9 to February 5, with DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai set to host the first 11 games, before the action shifts to the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
“This WPL auction has actually become very significant after the recent victory of the Indian team. So that has opened up the gateway for Indian girls to grow bigger and bigger in their careers. That’s why this auction gets a special significance because of the recent success of Indian women,” said Saikia in a video posted by WPL on their ‘X’ account on Saturday.
