The inaugural Women’s Premier League, which will feature five teams, is anticipated to take place in Mumbai in March 2024. Like the IPL for men, the IPL for women uses an auction format to select players from a pool. The WIPL 2024 player auction will take place the following month, and on January 25, BCCI is likely to announce the names of the FIVE Women’s IPL franchises.
The Chennai Super Kings have made the decision to skip the Women’s IPL. After the Men’s IPL, the Women’s IPL is now the second-most expensive cricket league. Eight franchises out of the ten men’s IPL teams have expressed interest in owning a team in the first Women’s IPL.
Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans are the franchises that will submit bids for the women’s IPL teams.
