Let’s wait for the official announcement and then I will decide. At this moment, I am ending my career in international cricket. I have enjoyed every time,” said Jhulan.
The Women’s IPL is all set to commence in March 2023. The tournament is being seen as a massive step towards to evolvement of Women’s cricket and if the news of Mithali and Jhulan playing in the tournament is true, then there will be plenty in the plate for young cricketers to grasp from the veteran cricketers.
