Smriti Mandhana Bats For Multi-City Format In WPL To Bring New Audience

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) women's team captain and Indian women's cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has shared her perspectives on the potential impact of a multi-city format for the Women's Premier League (WPL). She was speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab's Leaders Meet India in Bengaluru. Reflecting on the success of the WPL, Smriti Mandhana expressed enthusiasm for the prospect of adopting a multi-city format at the first-of-its-kind summit that brought together influential leaders from various industries to delve into the future of sports. "It would be great to have WPL in the multi-city format. I think that might be the next step and I am sure the people right here would look into it and make it happen. As an RCB fan, I would love to play in Chinnaswamy where people are chanting 'RCB RCB' and just to be in that environment. That is something which is one step ahead for us that it (multi-city format) can reach to places where women's cricket hasn't reached and to get new audience going into women's cricket," Mandhana said, according to a RCB release.

Australia opener Usman Khawaja believes there is no need to shift Marnus Labuschagne or anyone else to open once David Warner concludes his Test career, stating that given the difficulties of the task, a specialist should perform the job. With Labuschagne playing at the No.3 position in the batting order, the left-handed batter believes it would be hazardous to move him ahead of the Pakistan series. Khawaja was asked about the possibility of Labuschagne being moved up to open the batting when Warner's Test career expires later this summer, most likely following the third Test against Pakistan in Sydney in the new year. "Have you asked Marnus this? I think he would give you a really clear, 'hell no'. Marnus has got opening-it is...I think that is a long shot," Khawaja was quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
