The absence of the WIPL has been a big negative for the women's players. I still don't understand what prevented the BCCI from launching a smaller league with 3 or 4 teams for the women. The Australian and the English cricket boards have shown them how to create profits from the women's game. Even New Zealand is way up compared to the BCCI. On the other hand, the BCCI has actually asked the Indian players to get match practice through playing in WBBL and Women's Hundred (they have banned the men's players from similar leagues).

See the level of discrimination BCCI has for men and women cricket. BCCI has earned billions of dollars from men IPL, can't they spend few hundred thousand dollars for woman leagues?
Indian woman lost to New Zealand woman in 2nd ODI by 3 wickets. Though Indian W gave a good target of 270, it was Amelia Kerr from new zealand who scored unbeaten 119.
I was wondering what will happen in India if there man team was losing matches like that !!!

Well, I actually see this from the opposite way because the BCCI gets a lot of money from IPL so they also invest in the men's IPL, and in that way the money generation can be bigger and more stable. I think the BCCI knows that women's cricket in India is not going to make a lot of revenue for them and that's why they are not that interested in it.

Why would BCCI look for profit through women cricket when they are making more profit every year through IPL? WIPL will not generate revenue for them as not many Indians watch women cricket within India. Have you ever seen a lot of crowds gathering in the stadium when women cricket is being played in India?

But, I think it's worth a try because even though women's cricket is not that popular in India I think there is still hope for them because the population of India is massive and I think a lot of Indian women are interested in cricket. so I think it's worth a try.
