The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly opened up about the possibility of starting a women’s Indian Premier League.

BCCI President believes 2023 will be a very good time to start a full-fledged women's league which will be as successful as men's IPL.

"We are at the level of formulation to have a full-fledged WIPL. It is certainly going to happen. I strongly believe that next year i.e. 2023 will be a very good time to start a full-fledged women's IPL which will be as big and grand a success as men's IPL," Ganguly told PTI on Friday.

Ganguly has also confirmed that the Women’s T20 Challenge will be held during the IPL 2022 playoffs in May. The fixtures and the venues will be decided later.

“The Women’s T20 Challenge will again be back this year in the month of May. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to host a bigger women’s IPL once the number of women players goes up. But this year, the Women’s T20 Challenge will happen during the IPL playoffs,” Ganguly said.
