As mentor of the side, the 40-year-old cricketer will also promote women’s cricket and help develop the sport at the grassroots level in Gujarat.<\/p>\n

The Ahmedabad franchise had emerged the costliest of the five teams during the auction recently, with Adani Sportsline shelling out Rs 1289 crore.<\/p>\n

Mithali said the new BCCI initiative will help women’s cricket grow steadily and encourage young players to take up cricket professionally.<\/p>\n

“The inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League is a fantastic move for women’s cricket and the involvement of the Adani Group is a massive boost for the sport as well,” said Mithali on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Women’s cricket is growing steadily, and this kind of impetus will undoubtedly encourage young women to consider taking up cricket professionally.<\/p>\n

“I believe that the high-impact participation of corporates will help hasten the process of eventually bringing more glory to India.<\/p>\n

“This level of influence can help strengthen the sporting ecosystem and enhance opportunities for women athletes,” she added.<\/p>\n
