The Women’s Premier League auction is just around the corner but India are firmly focussed on their T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan as they aim to emulate the U19 girls’ title-winning feat, insisted skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. A total of five teams – Bengaluru, Bengaluru, Gujarat Giants, Lucknow and Mumbai will participate in the inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League 2023.

The WPL 2023 auction is slated to be held on February 13 in Mumbai, a day after India’s T20 World Cup 2023 opener against Pakistan Women cricket team.

“Before that (the auction), we have a very important game and we are just going to focus on that,” Harmanpreet said at the T20 World Cup captains’ press conference. “The World Cup is more important than anything else. Our focus is on the ICC trophy. These things will keep coming, and as a player, you know what's important for you and how you need to keep your focus.”
