Veteran India seamer Jhulan Goswami feels the introduction of a full-fledged women’s IPL will be a great thing for the country, the game and its young players.
The BCCI has been working on starting the women’s IPL but is currently content with organising a women’s T20 challenge alongside the men’s league.
In a conversation with SportsTiger’s show Off-the-Field, Goswami said, “As far as IPL is concerned, we do wish for the full-fledged tournament should start and we are all waiting for that.
“Women’s IPL will be a big achievement for the country and for young cricketers as they are going to share the dressing room with top-notch Indian and international talent.”
The highest wicket-taker in the women’s game, the 37-year-old bowler believes that age is just a number and what matters the most is the passion for the sport.
“As a professional athlete, you never think about age. You just go on with your passion, hard work and love for the game.
“You just want to be on the ground as much as possible and that is the most satisfying factor for any athlete. And I am just enjoying myself.”
