BCCI Proposes Long-Awaited Women's IPL From Next Year
The cricket board of India, Board of Control for Cricket In India (BCCI) has proposed a six-team women's IPL, to start from next year - 2023. At a GC meeting (Governing Council) of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a decision was made that all efforts will be put into starting an annual six-team twenty20 tournament for women cricketers.
A first preference was given to the existing owners of the IPL franchises. However, there will be a norman Women's Twenty20 challenge held this year. The GC realized the potential for Women's IPL and the sponsorship received by Women's T20 Challenge in 2020 further encouraged the idea.
Governing Council members decided that the existing owners of the franchises would be first asked if they want to own the women's franchise as well. After the first option is exhausted, BCCI may invite outside parties for ownership.
