Former India women’s coach feels a soft launch possible as early as next season
Eight members of the Indian women’s team that went on a tour of Australia stayed back even after the multi-format series concluded last October. They had all been signed up by the Women’s Big Bash League.
One of them became the Player of the Tournament. Another equalled the record for the league’s highest individual score. Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana were not just the Indians to impress this season at the world’s strongest T20 domestic league for women.
Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Varma, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Poonam Yadav and Richa Ghosh also did their bit for their franchises. Their performances put into focus the need for such a professional women’s league in India.
