“I feel like I’ve conveyed some ideas in the past about the way it has unfolded.
“From a personal point of view it was disappointing that they postponed the women’s exhibition games. They took the back end of the IPL (after it was abandoned in April) to get to the World Cup and then all that within a week of that.” They did what they could. Initially they have two new men’s IPL teams,” Alyssa told The Australian on Thursday.
Alyssa further said that she is hopeful that there will be some news from the BCCI regarding the women’s IPL as a whole in the future.
“They’ve taken all those steps and there’s still no word on whether they’re even going to play the postponed exhibition game. They just got a salary of $2 billion and hopefully some of that will be women’s cricket and maybe a women’s game.” Will go back to IPL. Near future. But we want to see it happen, we want to see world cricket really strong and this is the next step, to showcase a program for India and show the world that these young Indian players How good are they?”
Alyssa is currently participating in the seventh edition of the Women’s Big Bash League, representing the Sydney Sixers, which also stars Indian cricketers Shafali Verma and Radha Yadav. Apart from Shafali and Radha, Poonam Yadav (Adelaide Strikers), Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma (Sydney Thunder), Richa Ghosh (Hobart Hurricanes), Jemima Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur (Melbourne Renegades) are the rest of the Indian contingent in the WBBL.
