"Should Make It Mandatory For An IPL Franchise To Have A Women's Team": Lalit Modi To NDTV
Lalit Modi, the first-ever chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL), made a huge suggestion to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the growth of women's cricket in India during an exclusive interview with NDTV. Modi suggested that the BCCI should "make it mandatory" for all IPL franchises to have a women's team, so as to be able to hold a full-fledged Women's IPL. While the BCCI has recently announced plans to start a Women's IPL from next year, nothing formal has been announced yet and currently, the board hosts the three-team Women's T20 Challenge during the IPL season.
