In August, DDCA will launch men’s and women’s T20 leagues

August will see the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) launch men’s and women’s franchise T20 competitions. After receiving approval from the BCCI, the cricket regulatory body is seeking investors to buy franchises.

The Times of India reported that the DDCA top council met on July 1 and decided to start the leagues next month. Last week, BCCI cleared DDCA. Rohan Jaitley, DDCA president, said the board wants to finish the tournament by September 15 to prepare for BCCI’s domestic season.

“The league continues. Working out the details. The goal is to start the league by August 31 and finish it by September 15 to prepare for the BCCI’s domestic season “Jaitley said TOI on Tuesday.

Given women’s cricket’s recent growth, Jaitley said the women’s league should be started alongside the men’s league.

Because having only the men’s league makes no sense, we’re organising the women’s league. Indian women’s cricket is growing, and such competitions can help them. We successfully held the WPL this year. This is the year to launch the women’s league “Jaitley said.

Men and women from Delhi will have access to competitive cricket, which will assist establish a professional cricket ecosystem. The only time Delhi has white-ball cricket is now. Six men’s and at least four women’s teams are being considered for the league “added.

Like TNPL, KPL, and MPL, the league may be broadcast. Only the Arun Jaitley Stadium has manufacturing facilities and floodlights. The association is searching for other Capital sites to host the matches. The Karnail Singh Stadium, Jamia Milia Islamia Stadium, and Yamuna Sports Complex are possibilities.
