NEW DELHI: The chairman of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) for Indian cricket, Vinod Rai said on Sunday he was hopeful the country would witness a women’s Indian Premier League (IPL) from next year.
“With Diana Edulji (the CoA member), Mithali (Raj), Jhulan (Goswami), we have drawn up the sequence of events which hopefully you will see women’s cricket……or you might even see an IPL also,” Rai said at the Times Lit Festival here.
“Next year you are certainly going to see the change,” he added.
Despite a superb performance in the ICC Women’s World Cup in August, where they lost in the finals to England, the Indian team is still struggling for exposure. Even if they play tournaments, the matches are not televised.
