Sourav Ganguly also highlights the necessity of women's cricket, noting that the BCCI hopes to achieve something "bigger" in the coming years. In an interview, the former India captain revealed that the women will play more Test matches in the coming days.
Ganguly claims that as the number of female players in the player pool increases, the BCCI will try to stage a larger and grander Women's Indian Premier League aka Women's T20 Challenge (WIPL). He announced that the Women's T20 Challenge will be held during the men's Indian Premier League Playoffs in May.
The Women's T20 Challenge was canceled last year because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Now, after a one-year break, India's premier women's T20 tournament returns.
