WPL 2023 marks the start of chance to shine for talented Indian domestic players #IndiaNEWS #Sports
The idea behind the promo is crystal clear cricketers have been household names in India for a long time. With the WPL, all set to begin from Saturday in Navi Mumbai, it will now make various women cricketers household names too, seen from initial matches being completely sold out.
In the WPL running till March 26, 87 players will be participating, out of which 28 are uncapped Indian cricketers. With very little television or streaming coverage of womens domestic cricket matches, the WPL presents a golden chance for those talented players to showcase their skills in front of a worldwide audience.
WPL will definitely benefit state players, uncapped players and other players who are playing the game, and will bring a change in them. Like, when I saw Harry (Harmanpreet Kaur) go and play WBBL in the first year and when she came back, I saw a perceivable change in her approach to the game. Something from there had rubbed off on her.
Until then, we were lagging in the T20 format. We were there in the ODI format, but we were lagging behind in the T20 format for quite a few years. Its when Harman and others went out to play in other leagues and brought back that kind of professionalism. This is what I felt at that time and something similar is going to happen now as domestic players will be able to bridge the gap, says Mamatha Maben, former India captain, to IANS.
In her pre-season press conference, India and Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur had signalled Dhara Gujjar and Jintimani Kalita as players to watch out for in the WPL. The Womens T20 Challenge, a precursor to the WPL, gave the Indian womens cricket team an exciting yet raw diamond in Shafali Verma. One can only imagine the limelight and exposure WPL will bring to many such uncut diamonds in India.
WPL will increase your pool of players and create bench strength. If tomorrow, Harman (Harmanpreet Kaur) gets injured, then who can be your replacement? I see that from a recent T20 World Cup point of view. What we have been given through WPL is a platform to find more superstars who will reach every household. In the initial days, Diana Edulji and Shanta Rangaswamy were very well-known.
Then Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami came. Now we see the names of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. But WPL will give you more shining stars who will perform and become superstars, like how (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Bhuvneshwar) Kumar and (Ravindra) Jadeja emerged from the IPL, said Reema Malhotra, former India cricketer, to IANS.
The chance to share a dressing room with someone like Harmanpreet, Smriti Mandhana, Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy, and Beth Mooney in the WPL is what Reema sees as a huge advantage for domestic players aspiring to represent India at the international level.
