The big money that has been invested in the induction of two new IPL teams has made headlines and raised a few eyebrows. While there have been talks and plannings about the next edition of the Indian Premier League, there hasn’t been any discussion about the women’s IPL and which has certainly left Australia’s Alyssa Healy disappointed.
“I feel like I have made some thoughts known in the past about the way that has unfolded,” Healy said as per news.com.au.
“From a personal perspective it was disappointing they postponed the women’s exhibition games. They did everything they possibly could to put the back end of the IPL on (after it was abandoned in April) leading into a World Cup and then within a week of that starting they have two new men’s IPL teams,” she added.
Healy further said that she is hopeful that the money would be invested in women’s cricket and maybe a women’s IPL can be planned in the near future.
“They just got a $2bn payday and hopefully some of that will go back into women’s cricket and maybe a women’s IPL in the near future,” Healy said.
She is presently featuring in the Women’s Big Bash league and is a part of Sydney Sixers team.
