Australia’s premier all-rounder Ellyse Perry believes that the Women’s Indian Premier League (WIPL) will be the next frontier for women’s cricket and that the tournament can replicate the impact of Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) and The Hundred.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had recently floated the tender to award Women’s IPL media rights for the 2023-2027 period, which is available for purchase till December 31. The tentative window for playing the inaugural edition of Women’s IPL is March 2023.
“Never seen the crowd pull out their mobiles and turn on the flashlights and support a team like they did in the Indian innings. For me that’s just amazing. The IPL is going to be amazing, tremendously.”
“(Women’s IPL will be) next frontier for the women’s game. We’ve seen what the WBBL has done for women’s cricket in Australia, the Hundred in England and the next step is the women’s IPL in what is the spiritual home of cricket,” IANS quotes Ellyse as having said after the fourth T20I between India and Australia ended.
