WPL in different cities will improve its profile: Mithali

Former India captain and Gujarat Giants mentor Mithali Raj said organising the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in more than one city will help the teams develop new audience and enhance the tournament’s profile.

The first edition of the WPL was held only in Mumbai, but this time the BCCI is organising the tournament in Delhi and Bengaluru.

“If WPL moves to every city, it gives the franchise a chance to develop a new audience, who can come and watch it play. This will only improve the profile of the tournament and the franchises,” Mithali said in a Gujarat Giants release on Saturday. Gujarat Giants are all set to open their campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians on Sunday.
