But at the same time, we can confidently say that this inaugural season will only help Indian women's cricket as far as the talent pool is concerned. Yes, it'll take some time to mature but things are going in the right direction.
The tournament is a success as more people are watching the Women's Cricket and more opportunities for the players to earn a good purse which is much bigger than their International remunerations and the young generations will be taking note of that on a global scale and will be focusing on earning these WIPL contacts and in the future we will see more talents.
Did ratings come out recently? Last I checked overall reach was around 50-ish Million for the first week, this report came out last week or so and after that, I didn't notice any new report but surely WPL attracting serious eyeballs so it looks fine so far, although we have to wait a week or so for the final numbers.
Oh yeah, big fat checks for Women's players. In comparison, The 100 Draft came out just now and the highest paycheck for Men and Women are £125K and £31K respectively.
