NZ Captain Devine And Teammates Bates & Kerr Are Hoping For Women's IPL To Start Soon
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine, along with her team-mates Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr, are hoping for a women's edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to begin soon. As of now, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hasn't made the plans of a women's IPL public. In the past, the BCCI organised three-team exhibition matches named Women's T20 Challenge in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
"I think that the success of WBBL in Australia has been enormous and raised the profile of that. The standard of cricket as well has certainly improved and I guess that the international players have been a part of it. Likewise, we needed a number of Indian players playing in the WBBL, which was fantastic. I would love to see a women's IPL kick off. I think that's certainly the next step in taking the game globally for the women's side of things. So, fingers crossed for the next few years for it to be on the cards," said Sophie, who recently won this year's Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) with Perth Scorchers.
