MUMBAI: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly confirmed on Thursday that the that the Women’s T20 Challenge will be held this year in May.
“The Women’s T20 Challenge will again be back this year in May. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to host a bigger women’s IPL once the number of women players (player pool) goes up. But this year, the Women’s T20 Challenge will happen during the IPL playoffs,” Ganguly told Sportstar.
The former team India captain also confirmed that the upcoming two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will have a day-night Test to be played in Bengaluru.
After the white-ball series against the West Indies concludes in Kolkata on February 20, India will host Sri Lanka for three T20Is and two Tests scheduled for late February and early March.
“Yes, the pink-ball Test will be happening in Bengaluru. We have not decided on all the venues for the Sri Lanka series yet, but it will be announced shortly,” Ganguly told the magazine.
It will be just the third time India will host a pink-ball Test after playing against Bangladesh in Kolkata in November 2019 and England in Ahmedabad in February 2021.
