The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be conducting the first-ever Women’s Indian Premier League 2023 later this year. The media rights for the upcoming WIPL 2023 have already been sold at Rs 951 crore to Viacom18 last week and now over 30 companies have shown interest in buying the new WIPL franchises.
While the announcement of WIPL team owners will be done on Wednesday (January 25), the technical bids of the 30 companies who have picked up the ‘Invitation To Tender’ (ITT) document for become the owners of WIPL teams will be done on Monday (January 23).
The technical bids are expected to provide a good indication about the parties interested in buying the five WIPL teams, according to Cricbuzz website.
“It is obvious that some big corporates will be among those five given that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has imposed a net worth clause of INR 1000 crore. There is heavy speculation on two of the biggest corporates of India and the world – the Ambanis and the Adanis – and Monday’s proceedings could confirm that,” the Cricbuzz article read.
“With Mumbai Indians being the richest IPL franchise, the Ambanis are expected to participate in the WIPL auction in a big way but there has not been much talk of late about the Adanis. They have been quite under the radar after perceived disappointment in the IPL auction where they fell short of landing the Ahmedabad franchise. Wiser with that experience, they could be playing smart this time around and have maintained a low profile, avoiding any kind of publicity and public attention,” the article added.
According to the report, a team in Ahmedabad anyway will be in high demand while Bengaluru, Chennai, Guwahati, Kolkata, Mumbai and Nagpur are the other cities offered by the BCCI as team bases. Men’s IPL teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are among others who are expected to participate.
NEWS _- The BCCI is pleased to announce Viacom18 Media Private Limited as the successful bidder of Media Rights for the Women’s Indian Premier League (WIPL) Seasons 2023-2027.
