As first broken by CRICKETher back in March, the ECB have now officially announced the 6-team Women’s Super League will commence next summer, 2016.
For the first year, the Super League will run as a purely Twenty20 format competition, ALONGSIDE the existing 50-Over County Championship and T20 County Cup. Thereafter the WCSL will evolve to embrace both formats from 2017.
The WCSL is supported by a 4-year, £3 million pound investment from the ECB; who are hoping to attract international stars to the competition alongside home-grown players.
The importance to the home grown talent cannot be understated. Seeing the revolution in our men’s ODI and T20 team, I want to see the next generation show they can step up where the Edwards , Taylor and Greenways have previously led the way.
