Women IPL 2023: Women IPL team price: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set for another windfall of cash. The Indian board has set Rs 400 crore base price for each team. But it expects no less than Rs 1000 Cr per team. That will take BCCI’s coffers to a minimum of Rs 5000 Cr. Earlier, this year, BCCI earned Rs 48,390 from IPL Media Rights sales alone. The next in line is BCCI Media Rights for domestic and home game. It expects another 5-10,000 Crore. Follow Women’s IPL 2023 LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN.
The base price for WIPL teams is set as per Men’s IPL franchises back in 2008. BCCI had set close $100 million (as per exchange rate in 2008). The new franchises will pay the fees in equal instalments over 5 years.
“It’s not final. We will have an apex council meeting soon. We will float the tender for the Women’s teams then. But yes, 400 Cr is where the consensus is. But if you look at how the teams have grown in valuation, we expect no less than 1000 Cr per team,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.

- The BCCI is also busy seeking the availability of leading women’s cricketers around the world.
- As per a News18 report, the BCCI has already begun signing contracts with India as well as overseas players.

The tournament is likely to begin in the second week of March in 2023 and conclude around March 23. Instead of home and away system, the WIPL will move in a caravan style with two or more cities hosting matches.
“We would like to have non-traditional IPL venues for WIPL. However, you cannot expect a large crowd for women’s matches in every city. To get to that stage, we have to prepare accordingly. The discussions are on to start at the traditional cricket hubs and rotate the venues in future editions,” a senior BCCI official had told InsideSport earlier.
The tournament will be played over two weeks with 22 matches. The WIPL will follow the league and playoff format with the top team qualifying directly for the final. 2nd and 3rd placed teams will play the eliminator. The team’s owners are set to be finalised by December.
