NEW DELHI: The upcoming edition of the action-packed Women's Premier League (WPL) this year is likely to be hosted by Delhi and Bengaluru, according to a BCCI source. The maiden event was held in March 2023 in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, and a source from BCCI confirmed that they now plan to expand it to other locations.

"Women IPL will be held in Delhi and Bangalore this year Board aims to make League bigger and better," BCCI source told ANI. This time, two vibrant cities will share the spotlight, promising a double dose of cricket fever for fans across India.

Five teams - UP Warriorz, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gujarat Giants, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians - are ready to put their best foot forward, vying for the prestigious trophy. Teams have already picked players for their squads after the conclusion of the WPL 2024 auction in December last year.
