Women’s IPL: On January 25, the names of the teams will be revealed.
The Women’s Indian Premier League’s inaugural season would feature five foreign players, including at least one cricketer from an Associate nation, according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Given that the male equivalents can only include four international players in their starting XI, this is a historically significant move by the regulatory body. Additionally, no board has ever before across all Women’s T20 competitions adopted such a provision. The article asserts that the Roger Binny-led organisation has established a compensation ceiling for the WIPL of INR 12 crore.
According to some reports, the fund size will increase by INR 1.5 crore per year over the next four years and reach INR 18 crore by the end of the first five-year cycle (by 2027). The five-team competition does not have a provision for the icon players, unlike the IPL’s first season.
According to a person familiar with the situation, “the teams will have the option of fielding five foreign players as long as the fifth player is from an Associate nation.”
The likely dates for the WIPL are March 4 through March 26.
Even though the new tournament’s dates have not yet been revealed, it is anticipated to start on March 4 and end on March 26. As Wankhede Stadium will be hosting the games of the Men’s IPL, it is anticipated that all of the matches would be played at Brabourne Stadium and DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
The cricket board would receive INR 7.09 crores per WIPL game as a result of the recent media rights sale by the governing body of Indian cricket to Viacom 18 for a staggering INR 951 crore.
On January 25, BCCI will call the closed bidding procedure for the teams to a close. According to sources, they have already sold 29 ITTs, and at least 15 of them seem eager in buying and running a team in the Women’s IPL.
