MUMBAI: The BCCI has reportedly earmarked a March 2023 window to launch its women’s IPL and is expected to discuss modalities at the annual general meeting of the Indian cricket board in September.
Much of the planning around the tournament will be around the sale of media rights, ESPNcricinfo reports.
As per the cricket website, the BCCI has already tweaked its women’s domestic calendar to accommodate the women’s IPL. The women’s season that generally stretches from November to April has been advanced by a month. The senior women’s season for 2022-23 will now begin on October 11 with the T20 competition, and end in February next year with the inter-zonal one-day competition.
Enthusiasm for women’s cricket in India, and by extension the women’s IPL, are at an unprecedented high following the sequence of good performances by the Indian team in global events in recent years, the latest of which was the Silver medal finish at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
