The WBPL will be Bangladesh’s first-ever franchise-based Twenty20 competition for women, marking a significant step in the professional development of women’s cricket in the country.
The opening season will feature three franchise teams, combining leading national players with emerging domestic talents.
Local cricketers will be picked through a player draft system aimed at ensuring competitive balance and squad depth, while franchises will also be allowed to recruit overseas professionals to raise the tournament’s standard and provide international exposure.
The WBPL Governing Council will be chaired by Rubaba Dowla, BCB Director and Chairperson of the BCB Women’s Wing, and will oversee all organisational matters.
Further details, including franchise names, draft regulations, format, venues, fixtures, broadcast and commercial partnerships, will be announced in due course.
