'Why Should Only Boys Have All The Fun?' - Mumbai T20 League Chairman On Inaugural Women's Edition
Three women's teams will participate in the inaugural season of the league, alongside the eight men's franchises participating in the fourth edition of the competition. Rajdip Gupta, Chairman of the Governing Council of the Mumbai T20 League, recalled that launching the women's league was the first assignment handed to him when he took charge, and he is now a happy man on seeing it become a reality.
"The moment I took over as the chairman of this league, I met President Mr. Ajinkya Naik, and he told me, 'Rajdip, we want to have one kind of gender equality at Mumbai Cricket Association. It is very, very important that we also treat our women and girls in the same way we treat our male players. There are many clubs now that have women's teams, but there is a lack of a platform.'
