The BCCI is planning to start the much-awaited Women's IPL after Indian skipper Mithali Raj and her team recorded a sensational series win in South Africa. After the 3-1 series win for the India women's cricket team against South Africa Women has once again fueled the talks of a women's Indian Premier League (IPL). Many cricket lovers think that the need to have T20 cricket competition modeled on the lucrative IPL can give birth to numerous talented women's cricketers in the country and they feel that the significance of a women's league is more than ever now.
"Don't know is it really hard for BCCI to invest in women's IPL or they think it won't attract many viewers to watch the sport. Well something must be holding 'em back. Addition of women's IPL would have been a massive morale booster to so many young girls wanting to play cricket [sic]," Rahul's sentiments were echoed by many cricket fans who are keen to see the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and the veteran Mithali Raj among other India women's team stars in a women's IPL.
Also, the star cricketers from other countries including Sarah Taylor (England Women) and Dane van Niekerk (South Africa Women) may also have the chance of featuring in the T20 cricket league. The ball is in the court of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and possibly after years of waiting, some good news in the direction of launching a women's IPL could be coming from the board.
