Women’s IPL can pave the path to further improvement of women’s cricket in India with respect to the structured coaching program of BCCI. Initially, the overseas coaching setup is to take the lead similar to what the men’s IPL has followed in the initial years.
BCCI announced earlier that the board intends to conduct the inaugural women’s IPL in 2023. The preparations for the new initiative are currently underway. The women players are to take center stage in March, prior to the well-established men’s version. It will enhance women’s cricket in India. It is believed to revolutionize women’s cricket in the country.
According to former women’s team captain Anjum Chopra, women’s cricket is currently in the progression stage unlike the men’s version and it is believed to pick up the pace quickly.
Writing a column for IANS news agency, she added that the basics of cricket should not be compromised and grafting single or double runs keep adding to the scorecard instead of just focusing on hitting fours and sixes.
Chopra stepped into cricket when she was just 9 years old and played her first friendly match during her college days. She scored 20 runs and grabbed two wickets at the inter-college level. She played for New Delhi in the under-15 games. Her debut ODI was against New Zealand in February 1995. Her first Test cricket was in November 1995 against England.
She is a right-arm medium-pace bowler and bats left-handed. She is recognized as a performing player, suitable captain, sober commentator, proven consultant, successful author, casual actor and motivational speaker. She is currently one of the best cricket commentators in the female segment.
During her cricketing career, she was honored with various awards including Padma Shri and Arjuna Award. She is an honorary member of the Lord’s Cricket Ground and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
Meanwhile, the ICC’s 2022-25 FTP cycle has been released and the Indian women’s team is to play a total of 65 matches that includes 36 T20Is and 27 ODIs. India will host two Tests against Australia and England in the 2023-24 season.
Women’s World Cup is scheduled to be held in 2025 and the expanded tournaments during the upcoming cycle will help the team prepare well.
