Seasoned India leg-spinner Poonam Yadav believes the Women’s Premier League (WPL) will not just provide a great opportunity to senior players to come back into national reckoning, it will also be a boon for young players to learn from international stars. The Delhi Capitals player, who is hoping to take the WPL route to regain her place in the national side, added the tournament will take Indian women’s cricket to the next level. The 31-year-old last played for India in an ODI against Bangladesh in March last year and was bought by the Delhi franchise for the inaugural WPL edition for Rs 30 lakh. The WPL is scheduled to commence on March 4 with the match between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians.
“The experienced players can utilise the WPL as a platform to make a comeback and the youngsters will get a chance to showcase their talent in the tournament,” Poonam said in a Delhi Capitals media release.
