Women's Cricket Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to start the women's Indian Premier League (IPL) by next year.
The decision was taken in a Governing Council (GC) meeting of the IPL here on Friday.
The same has also been confirmed by BCCI president Sourav Ganguly.
All efforts will be made to start a six-team annual Twenty20 tournament for the women's cricketers, with first preference being given for the existing IPL franchises, according to Cricbuzz.
The GC members have decided that the existing franchises of the IPL will be asked if they could also have the women's team, otherwise the BCCI will invite other parties to own the franchises.
