5 reasons why the BCCI needs to start a Women’s version of IPL soon

We might try to cover it up a lot, but the gap between the quality of cricket played in the Indian domestic circuit and the international arena is huge. Any T-20 league, if held in India, will attain the attention of the best women cricketers from all over the world.

The Indian men’s cricket benefit greatly due to the IPL, as a certain Jasprit Bumrah learnt the tricks of the trade from Lasith Malinga himself. Indian women’s cricket is at a very nascent stage right now and needs to be nurtured with the right tactics so that they can continue their constant development.
