The BCCI does not have any regulations for the female players, despite the fact that India’s male cricket players are prohibited from competing in overseas competitions. Despite the launch of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), players such as Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Smriti Mandhana have already made appearances in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), The Hundred, and the Caribbean Premier League (WCPL). It seems doubtful that this trend will change.
Indian players, according to WBBL General Manager Alistair Dobson, are very attractive and have increased income for the league.
He said that they have improved the tournament’s quality in addition to highlighting its astounding increase in viewership. Dobson also discussed their leadership qualities and capabilities, and he hinted at the possibility of hosting more Indian cricket players in the future.
We consider it a great blessing that there are Indian players in the WBBL, like as Harmanpreet Kaur of the Melbourne Renegades and other players who have competed against us and shown exceptional talent, leadership, and skill. As a result, Dobson stated, “We’re constantly collaborating closely with other boards throughout the world to find new methods to expand our competition and make it as accessible as possible.
According to Alistair, the inclusion of renowned pundits Harsha Bhogle and Ravi Shastri in the broadcast crew last year contributed to the game’s expansion throughout the subcontinent. According to him, the WBBL hopes to attract a larger audience in the future season by adding more international commentators. He stated that he hoped to use the forthcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy as a means of assisting the expansion of the competition in India.
“Those guys [Bhogle and Shastri] commentating the BBL was amazing.” From all accounts, they truly enjoyed what they witnessed, and they bring great knowledge and enthusiasm to our game. In addition, given the busy international summer that lies ahead, we hope to see a few international commentators here once more this summer,” Dobson stated.
