BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and the board felt that the Women's Premier League has made a significant impact on Indian women's cricket and eventually on global women's cricket. By gaining success in a short period, BCCI is considering expanding the league. In the future, it is possible to see more teams participating in the T20 league.
Through this league, the young women's cricketers are able to compete with the leading international superstars, which is believed to be one of the pulling powers of the competition.
Devajit Saikia reveals their plans
"From next year, definitely we will have to do some brainstorming sessions to increase the number of teams as well as in other areas where we can improve," Saikia said.
"WPL is one of the big leagues in franchise cricket after IPL. We have come a long way in four years, and ultimately we are now dominating women's cricket. The league has contributed to the success of women's cricket in India," he said.

Sophie Molineux got the highest bid ahead of the 2027 season
Meanwhile, all five teams are ready for the next season as they have set their full squads. On Wednesday, October 28, franchises confirmed their full squad through the mini auction. Australia captain Sophie Molineux emerged as the most expensive at the auction, getting an INR 1.10 crore bid from UP Warriorz.
As it was a mini auction, all of the franchises were very tactical and took cautious measures with their bids. Instead of spending heavy amounts on a single player, franchises aimed to secure as much raw talent as possible from the auction.
