help it become a powerhouse of women’s cricket.Declaring that the WPL is going to have a massive impact on Indian cricket,
Mumbai Indians women’s team head coach Charlotte Edwards said: “The Hundred
is really special for women’s cricket. I only expect WPL is only going to
be bigger. It is massive for India cricket, make the Indian team stronger
in a couple of years,” the former English cricketer said ahead of the WPL’s
start on March 4.
“It is going to carve out unbelievable talent. The tournament is going to
make India a powerhouse of women’s cricket for the next few years,” added
Edwards, a legend of the game having played 23 Test matches, 191 One Day
Internationals and 95 Twenty20 Internationals for England between 1996 and
2016.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who is captaining Mumbai Indians, said
Indian cricket had been missing a tournament like WPL.
“I think this (WPL) is a great platform for all Indian players. We have
been missing this tournament for a long time. In Australia, the WBBL, and
The Hundred in England have produced so many hidden talents. After the WPL,
we are definitely going to get some great talents,” Harmanpreet said during
a virtual interaction.
