Can the Women's Premier League Make an Early Impression in India? | Sledging Room, Ep 34

The Women's Premier League is finally happening. Record bids for broadcast rights and team ownership showed there is massive interest and women's cricket in India has now come of age. There is little doubt the WPL will do a lot of good for women's cricketers in the country but can it make an early impression? Should the WPL have been launched earlier or is this the right time? How important will this tournament be for India's women cricketers especially after the U19 T20 World Cup triumph? Also on the Sledging Room, there was a heated debate around India's preparation ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

Priya Nagi and Akshay Ramesh join Rajarshi Gupta for an intense debate in the latest episode of the Sledging Room. Tune in!
