“We kept things simple and clear. Told players to play natural. Obviously it’s a big day for women’s cricket but it was all about backing yourself,” Kaur said after the win. Several female cricketers experienced the biggest payday of their career in February’s players auction where teams had $1.45m each to spend on acquiring players.
As in the men’s IPL, the WPL does not feature any Pakistani player given political relations between the cricket-mad neighbours.“We have been pushing the doors for a very long time, we are getting there, we are getting very close,” Rodrigues, Lanning’s deputy at Delhi, told reporters.“You will find many superstars coming out from it, many leaders, or many match-winners, I would say.”
