The way the Indian women's team has been progressing in recent times is truly commendable. Despite losing the T20 series against England, India's women's team has already won the title by winning the first two matches of the ODI series. And their performance in both matches was excellent. Harmanpreeet Kaur batted very well, especially in two matches. Due to his amazing innings, the Indian team was able to defeat the England team very easily. And if this trend continues, the Indian women's team will lead the world in the future.
Their performance in this series was really good, but it will be too early to say that they will dominate women's cricket similar to what their male counterparts do. One of the main reasons why players such as Harmanpreeet are performing this good is due to their participation in franchise leagues around the world. She has participated in both the W100 (Manchester Originals) and the WBBL (Melbourne Renegades, Sydney Thunder). The same can be said about some of the other players in the squad as well.
Well, it is a little too early to say that they are going to be as good as their male counterpart. But with all the problems that are going on in men's cricket, I think they are not very far away. In men's cricket, there are a lot of problems because there is the problem of having a big4. and those for teams trying to hold onto the power that they have over the ICC and not letting the smaller teams play regularly. I think women's cricket is doing quite well right now and even though I don't think women's cricket will also be safe from these types of problems but right now I have hope.
The good thing is now BCCI taking WIPL seriously, they are about to issue tenders for the media rights etc soon.
Apart from setting up WIPL I'd also like to see if they change venues (Countries, probably SENA -alternate year-) once it gets settled, this would ensure local kids are getting a fair amount of exposure in other conditions too because there is hardly any bilateral cricket available for girls
I think a big reason why the BCCI is actually considering giving WIPL a chance is that The Indian women have performed really well in recent times. and with the recent win against England in the ODI, the Indian women have proved that they can perform really well against bigger opponents. So I think it is the right time for BCCI to arrange WIPL and set the tempo for the future of women's cricket.
