The
inaugural
edition
of
the
domestic
T20
tournament
will
take
place
in
March-April
2023.
Over
the
years,
Mithali’s
trailblazing
achievements
and
contributions
to
Indian
cricket
have
not
only
earned
her
numerous
awards
and
accolades
but
have
also
played
a
key
role
in
bringing
women’s
cricket
into
the
limelight,
both
on
national
and
international
platforms.
As
a
mentor
and
advisor,
Mithali
will
also
promote
women’s
cricket
and
help
develop
the
sport
at
the
grassroots
level
in
Gujarat.
“The
inaugural
season
of
the
Women’s
Premier
League
is
a
fantastic
move
for
women’s
cricket
and
the
involvement
of
the
Adani
Group
is
a
massive
boost
for
the
sport
as
well,”
said
Mithali
Raj.
Women’s
Premier
League:
RCB,
MI,
DC,
GG
–
What
will
the
five
WPL
franchises
be
called?
“Women’s
cricket
is
growing
steadily,
and
this
kind
of
impetus
will
undoubtedly
encourage
young
women
to
consider
taking
up
cricket
professionally.
I
believe
that
the
high-impact
participation
of
corporates
will
help
hasten
the
process
of
eventually
bringing
more
glory
to
India.
This
level
of
influence
can
help
strengthen
the
sporting
ecosystem
and
enhance
opportunities
for
women
athletes.”
“Mithali
Raj
is
a
role
model
for
the
young
generation
and
we
are
delighted
to
have
such
an
inspirational
athlete
on
board
to
mentor
our
women’s
cricket
team,”
said
Mr
Pranav
Adani,
Director
of
Adani
Enterprises.
“While
we
have
supported
many
other
women
players
in
different
sports
through
our
‘Garv
Hai’ initiative,
this
is
the
first
time
the
Adani
Group
has
ventured
into
women’s
cricket,
and
we
are
privileged
to
be
able
to
promote
women
in
sports
through
the
inaugural
Women’s
Premier
League.
We
believe
that
the
presence
of
international
sporting
heroes
like
Mithali
will
attract
new
talent
not
just
into
cricket
but
also
into
every
other
sport
and
transform
the
professional
sports
ecosystem.”
