Expected to get 1500 crores
BCCI expects that it can get one thousand to 1500 crore rupees from a franchise. That means the board can get 6 to 8 thousand crore rupees from 5 franchises. “The winning franchise will pay the amount to the BCCI in equal installments over five years and will continue to be the owner of the team in perpetuity like the men’s IPL,” a person associated with the league told News18.
There can be 20 league matches in the tournament
The tournament will consist of 20 league games, with teams playing each other twice. The table toppers will get a direct entry into the final, while the second and third placed teams will compete in the eliminator. In this way, preparations are on to have a total of 22 matches in the tournament. Each team can have a maximum of five overseas cricketers in their playing XI.
BCCI has sent a note to all the state associations. It reads, ‘In order to have a good balance of domestic and international players and to have competitive teams, five teams have been provisionally decided for WIPL. Each team can consist of a maximum of eighteen players, where no team can have more than six overseas players.
