128 women drafted for Bengal Pro T20 League

Led by eight marquee ladies the teams had been picked by a panel of selectors and Bengal coaches and kept in sealed envelopes. Representatives of the eight franchises picked one envelope each through a lucky draw that completed their eight set teams.

Talking about this, CAB President Snehasish Ganguly said, "The idea that this league will have both men and women’s teams shows the importance we give to women’s cricket here in Bengal. We have produced legends of the game in the past and we are confident of giving India more stars for the future.

"This league will give the girls a chance to showcase their mettle and take their fates in their own hands and come into reckoning for the next editions of WPL and of course the Indian team. I wish all the eight teams the very best."
