“We at Delhi Capitals could not be more proud to become owners of a WPL franchise.” “What makes it even more special is that it’s from Delhi.” “Through our academies that are spread across the NCR, we have seen the amount of interest and talent there is amongst girls and women of all ages, and I have no doubt the WPL will give passionate women cricketers the platform they deserve to show their skills,” said Jindal in a media release.
“I am truly excited to be part of this revolution and can’t wait to get started. I would like to congratulate the BCCI and all the other owners who have shown tremendous interest in the women’s game. “India has been home to the world’s best men’s T20 league since 2008, and from 2023, our great country will be home to the world’s best women’s T20 league,” he added.
