Before the start of the second season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), the teams of the tournament have suffered a major setback. Let us tell you that during the upcoming season, there is a conflict between international and club cricket, due to which the women players of the England cricket team will not be able to participate in this season.

It is noteworthy that the second season of WPL is starting from 23rd February next month and the final match will be played on 17th March. However, the England women’s cricket team is scheduled to play New Zealand in its first T20 match on March 19 in Dunedin. Now the problem facing women players is whether they should choose club cricket or international cricket.

So, according to ESPN Cricinfo, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has instructed its players that if they participate in the upcoming season of the Women’s Premier League, then they will miss the first three T20 matches against the New Zealand women’s cricket team. Will be out.

These players may not be able to participate

It is noteworthy that in the upcoming season of WPL, England’s star players like Alice Capsey, EC Wong, Nat Seaver Brunt, Kate Cross, Heather Knight, Sophie Aselton and Danny Wyatt represent different franchises. Their match fees in the tournament range from 30 thousand euros to 3 lakh 20 thousand euros.

However, money will not play a big role in this, because recently the ECB has decided to increase the matches of its women players at the same rate as the men players. Apart from this, this period is going to be very important for the England women’s cricket team from the perspective of the Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in Bangladesh.

On the other hand, before the start of the upcoming season of WPL, Lauren Bell, who plays for UP Warriors, has withdrawn her name from the tournament. Well, now it will be interesting to see how many players withdraw their names from the tournament this time?
