Meanwhile, the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly promised that a full-fledged Women’s IPL is under planning for a 2023 start. However, apart from that, there has not been much development in this regard.
“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 the men’s IPL,” Sourav Ganguly told PTI last month.

For this year, Women’s T20 Challenge will make a comeback during IPL. The three-team mini-tournament was postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
“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,” Sourav Ganguly told Sportstar.
