This statement first came from the Indian Women camp (senior players), even some of them mentioned this in Ashwin's channel. That's why they are advocating for 4-5 teams only. I also in favor of starting with 4-5 teams at start then adding more team, may be next season. One thing is sure, quality will increase in women team after this, guess no one can deny that.
In the end, money matters. Indian women's cricket is in such poor shape because the salaries offered to the players are too low for them to remain as professionals. Right now only the national players can afford to do so. If WIPL is started with 4 teams, that would mean that a minimum of 30 additional players can get themselves elevated as professionals. Just take a look at Indian IPL players like Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Lalit Yadav. How much were they getting from domestic cricket, before being picked up by the IPL franchises?

Maybe this is a good start to take women's cricket in the right direction. WIPL is a good start in my opinion. Though 4 teams are not, but it's better than nothing right? They can eventually increase the number of teams and more players will get a chance to play and more better players will be spotted to be played for the national team. And maybe followed by this, more countries will hold women's league cricket overall benefitting women players around the world.

I agree that BCCI is very hesitant to start WIPL and they need to face hard criticism for such behavior but this statement is completely wrong and BS. They didn't even hinted anything like that even when they were giving bizarre excuses.

Their record stuck at only one statement, they like to believe that they don't have enough local talent.

LOL.. not enough local talent? That sounds even more BS for me. WBBL is having 8 teams. The women's domestic competition in India is having a total of 38 teams. It may not be possible to have 8 franchises, but why can't they start with just 4 teams? I believe there is enough talent available in India to form at least 4 teams. And I would suggest one franchise each from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai. When Indian players are participating in the WBBL and women's Hundred, what is the point in saying that there is not enough talent?

This is really shocking news for me that BCCI is obliging their women cricketers for WBBL and Women's Hundred because if they start their own WIPL this can bring some very good profit and their women's cricket could be going in very good way, and they will be able to challenge big two of women cricket England and Australia because right now these ladies doing very impressive in last few years and this type activity will bring some good funds which can improve their ways with some big amount.

The excuse being given by the BCCI is that if they start any other league such as the WIPL, then it may have an impact on the popularity of the IPL. They are quite protective about the IPL and that is why they have banned Indian players from foreign leagues and have even banned overseas players from participating in state-level leagues such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League and Karnataka Premier League. The CA and ECB are not that protective and their justification is that the fan base for men's and women's game are not the same.

The Indian women's team had a great win against the Australian women's team. This is their first win in the series. In women's cricket, the Australian team is much stronger than any other team. Winning against them is challenging for any team. Congratulations to the Indian women's team, they have done a great job and they have beaten Australia.
Yes.. Australia and England are a step ahead of the rest, as far as women's cricket is concerned. Does that really surprise you? CA and ECB have invested heavily in women's cricket, unlike the BCCI. Despite a lot of requests for the WIPL, the BCCI has refused to come up with a franchise league for the women cricketers. They are now asking the national women's players to take part in WBBL and the Women's Hundred. How shameful is this? They are effectively saying that they don't have any money for the women's players and therefore they can play in tournaments organized by the CA and ECB. Is the development of women's cricket in India the responsibility of the Australian and English boards?

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
Was watching the India Women match and they need just 8 runs in the last two overs, they had a good start but they lost wickets in the middle and i really wanted to see them win the match in Australia. I hope they can control their nerves and take the team to victory as Sneh Rana and the experience of Jhulan Goswami is more than enough to rotate the strike and take the team to a victory.
I thought India would choke once again but Goswami sealed the victory for India.

Edit:

Sneh Rana is gone, went for a big hit, just 2 more wickets left and 6 runs from 8 balls, singles please.

Another important update.

BCCI also gave green light to next domestic season. Hope everything goes well, fingers crossed.

- Starts on 28 Sep 2021 and run till 2 April 2022
- Bio bubble setup in 25 cities, Partnering with Apollo hospitals.
- 13 tournaments with 1054 domestic matches in the 2021-22 season  Shocked  Roll Eyes (Previous seasons had more games but this is still very big considering pandemic)
- Irani Trophy (Series between Ranji Winner and Rest of India), Duleep Trophy are excluded.

https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/119175/bcci-to-conduct-13-tournaments-1054-domestic-games-in-2021-22-season

So we will have the 4-day competition after a gap of three years? If I was not wrong, the Ranji trophy was last played in 2019. Now they are not taking the COVID situation that seriously, because almost everyone is either fully or partially vaccinated and even in case someone is infected the chances are that it will not result in hospitalization. Given the lax attitude towards quarantine and other preventive measures, I am not sure whether bio-bubbles are practical for thousands of players. Who is going to make sure that there is no breach?
Yeah, 2020-21 season got cancelled due to covid.

Vaccination drive is going okay, cases are going down and they can't afford to cancel another season so can understand their POV. Well they are partnering with the hospitals and hotels for a reason but I agree that monitoring the large pool of players could be daunting task, let's see. Would be great if they can avoid Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra venues, although i know its not going to happen specially with Maharashtra case.

The fact is that small boards have always said yes no matter what was the condition because they need revenue. Big boards are already generating good revenue therefore they show their tantrums. Small boards have tried their level best to increase revenue but till now they have been struggling, until then the situation will remain the same.
^ I agree with you the boards are independent organizations but they have to obey when the government gives out any instructions. What I feel like is that the NZL board thought that the tour was safe for them and maybe at the very last moment they got some news or rumor or something by which they felt threatened and they were forced to pull out of the series.  We all know what had happened with Sri Lanka in Pakistan so it is very normal for the government and the board to be extra careful with these kinds of issues.



Again.. there is no point in blaming the cricket boards, when the decision is taken by the government. In this case, the New Zealand government asked the NZC to pull out of Pakistan and they complied with that. If the Bangladesh government ask the BCB to do the same in future, then I am afraid that the BCB will be forced to do so. On paper, the cricket boards are independent entities. But in security related matters, they need to follow the government directives. As far as I know, this is a political issue and need to be resolved between the governments. Let's leave the cricket boards for now.
^^ I have to disagree with you mate. You have to understand how humiliating this is for the Pakistan Board. I'm not saying that you have to play with your life at risk, what I'm saying is, you should have done enough research about your tour before playing that right? And teams are already frightened to play in Pakistan and this gesture from the NZL Board may have put the future of cricket playing in Pakistan in doubt.

County cricket also struggling, pitches there are ridiculously favors the fast bowlers that's why you see 4 days match gets done and dusted in just 2 days regularly.
If they could make the same pitches for international cricket that would be great, the game now a days favors the batsman and they need to be bowler friendly as well just to test the players and which county matches are you talking about that ends in a couple of days. I am not a big fan of watching all the matches but i am curious to know which matches are bowler friendly as i would like to see those matches.
English County cricket

Pitch was way too much seam friendly that 2-3 match got over under 2 days at the exactly same time. These pitches attracted some attention and fair amount of backlace when England's team got bowled out in 1 session at lord's against the Indian team and failed to bat whole day during the 4th Oval Test.

Argument was England batters don't have mindset to bat longer because of such system and obviously can't face spin as they hardly face any spinner in County, also English seamers-batters are not equipped for flat pitches. One commentator said that we can't play spin in India, we can't play on flat pitch and their seamers bullying us at our own backyard.

I remember the terrorist incident at Christchurch. 51 people died and a few of the Bangladesh players narrowly escaped from getting shot at. But the difference here is that the Bangladesh government decided that it is safe to continue with the tour and conveyed the message to the BCB. In case of New Zealand team in Pakistan, it was different. The directive came from the New Zealand government to abandon the tour, and CNZ just followed the order. So these two incidents are not directly comparable.
If the Bangladesh government or the Bangladesh cricket board thought that and made a decision that it is not safe for Bangladesh players to play the series when there was an attack in New Zealand they could have called the team home but they never did. If New Zealand government and their cricket board feels that there is a threat to the team, then they can call the team home and that is what they have done.

Everyday is not Sunday. We saw a situation where Bangladesh cricket team just escaped a massacre on Muslim worship place but small boards didn't made any issue out of it and continue there tour's to NZ. Definatly big 3 will need support of other boards in the long run. Who knows we may have something bigger then ipl from small boards in years to come.

I placed a bet on Australian women to win the match but it looks like India Women has an opportunity here to win the match as they need to score at 8.57 runs per over which i think is an impossible task even though they have wickets in hand. Australia Women need 80 runs in 56 balls and it looks like i need to cash out, good play India women.
Australia wins by five wickets with a thrilling last ball. It was an amazing comeback from Australia, but the fielding by India was poor. They dropped catches, runs were missed, and stumpings were missed. The team deserved to lose! My hat's off to the Aussie women Beth Mooney, who displayed grit in all 50 overs of Australia's chase and was named Player of the Match. Moreover, Australia deserved to win. Congratulations on your win @ene1980.
