I feel like a child who is given the opportunity to enter a candy shop. It’s great to be here. This is a wonderful initiative. It’s wonderful to see so many women. They are amazing athletes who deserve the best of opportunities. This is a fantastic platform for them. “I want to celebrate the women’s game of cricket, and I am happy.”

He continued, “It’s about time.” It’s great that it has finally been done. It shows that Women’s Cricket is the future. My daughter used to ask me if a woman played cricket because she was very sporty, and my son loves to play cricket. She wanted to compete against him. I then showed her some matches, and said that girls are very good at playing cricket. I am happy to see that the league is finally here. We will sit like I do with my daughter and son for IPL and for WPL.
