The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to launch the women’s edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 tournament next year.
President BCCI Sourav Ganguly told reporters that the women’s IPL has been approved “It has to be approved by the annual general meeting.”
Earlier, in an interview with an Indian news agency, Ganguly had said that women’s IPL will be launched in 2023.
IPL chairman Brijesh Patel said the process to launch the women’s version has “started”. According to Patel, there would be five or six teams in the women’s IPL but again that would need the approval of the general body.
IPL 2022 has started from today (March 26) and a total of 70 league matches and four playoff games will be played over 65 days. The matches will be played by creating a bio-bubble.
