The Invitation to Tender for the opportunity to own and manage a team in the Women’s IPL was announced by BCCI on January 3.
A franchise-based concept is likely to see five clubs in the debut season of the much awaited Women’s IPL, which is scheduled to begin play in 2023. The BCCI approved the start of the Women’s IPL at the Governing Council Meeting of the previous year.
The first season is probably going to be played in March, despite the fact that no formal dates have been revealed. On January 25, the five Women’s IPL teams will be unveiled by the BCCI. At least eight out of the ten IPL franchises have reportedly confirmed that they will bid for a franchise. The Indian Cricket Board had listed 10 cities in the bid.
