The newly introduced Women's Premier League in India will challenge the Women's Big Bash League as the best Twenty20 competition in women's cricket, Australia's wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy said.
The WPL is expected to be a game changer for the women's game after several female cricketers experienced the biggest payday of their careers at the auction, where teams had $1.45 million each to spend on acquiring players. "The WBBL has been the envy of women's cricket for eight years now, but there's no denying the WPL will put pressure on our domestic competition," Healy wrote in her column on Cricket Australia's website on Wednesday.
"For the WBBL to keep pace with the WPL and retain its status as the best domestic competition in the world, we need to make sure it's lucrative and exciting enough for the best players to keep making the trip to Australia."
