Let us tell you that women’s cricket is increasing day by day. In addition to the international competition, franchise women’s cricket also receives a lot of publicity. The Women’s IPL was held in India for the first time in 2023 and was known as the Women’s Premier League. A total of five teams took part in the tournament’s first season. Like last time, the Women’s Premier League will be played in 2024. This means that apart from international cricket, women’s cricket will also be heavily promoted in franchise cricket.
Prior to the Women’s Premier League, women’s franchise cricket is played in many countries around the world, which includes tournaments such as the Big Bash League. We tell you that Indian women cricketers are participating in the Women’s Big Bash League. However, on the contrary, this policy is reversed for male Indian cricketers. Apart from the IPL, male Indian cricketers cannot also participate in world leagues.
