Recently BCCI has changed a few things. They are willing to take more risks to get the maximum benefit out of everything. They know very well that it is going to be a big risk to arrange WIPL at this moment. But they have realized that if they don’t do something like this, Indian women’s cricket is probably not on track to improve as fast as they want. So they are willing to take the risk.
In addition, I believe that the Indian women cricketers will improve rapidly in the near future. Obviously, there will be more and more women cricketers coming forward from India. This will also help the whole region. The scene of women’s cricket in the whole region is going to improve.
They are earning shitload amount of money now so they can afford to take risk, if by any chance they take these steps back then everybody should shit on them for real. They deserve no respect whatsoever.
I guess this happened so fast because of the recent incredible performance of Indian women team in CWG 2022. Otherwise they would have tried to delay the WIPL. Another factor would have been the increase in TV and online viewership of the games played by Indian team. In all it is a very good news for women cricket in india and especially the young girls who are struggling to get selected in the women A team.
In terms of peak popularity in Indian women cricket, highest point was 2017 wc when our girls entered into finals out of nowhere. BCCI missed the trick of launching WIPL that year due to their shitty behavior, even likes of Ganguly made some silly comments about it.
Having said that i'm happy that it's about to become reality, fingers cross everything goes well and there are no delay this time.
