The DY Patil Sports Academy was treated to some Bollywood style entertainment. Once the dancing and singing were done, BCCI president Roger Binny, secretary Jay Shah, and a host of other board officials were called up on the stage. The office-bearers were followed by the captains of the five franchises — Delhi Capitals’ Meg Lanning, Mooney, Smriti Mandhana of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Alyssa Healy of the Warriorz and Harmanpreet. That was followed by the unveiling of the first-ever WPL trophy.
The inaugural game will have a rescheduled start and will commence at 08.00 PM IST
The sale of WPL’s five franchises and media rights alone fetched nearly $690 million and the Indian cricket board has lined up an impressive array of sponsors for the 22-match tournament.
