WPL 2023: Harmanpreet Kaur has been appointed as new captain of Mumbai Indian’s women squad

Before the first bowl was even served, the forthcoming season of the Women’s Premier League attracted a tonne of attention. On March 4, 2023, the inaugural round of the premier event will feature a match between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians at Navi Mumbai Stadium.

Speaking about the most recent development, Harmanpreet Kaur has been named the team’s new captain for the Mumbai Indians women.

She has been in the squad for more than ten years and has an incredible record in the shortest version of the game, becoming the first Indian player to play in 150 T20I matches.

“We are thrilled to have Harmanpreet as the captain of Mumbai Indians’ first-ever women’s cricket team. As the national captain, she has led the Indian Women’s team to some of their most exciting wins. And I am sure that with Charlotte and Jhulan’s support, she will inspire our MI women’s team to play their best cricket, display a sense of pride, and bring even more glory to women in sports. We are so looking forward to the beginning of this new chapter for MI! I can’t wait to see our girls play the fearless and entertaining MI brand of cricket that our fans adore. More power to Harmanpreet and the entire MI team on this exciting journey ahead!” said Nita Ambani owner of Mumbai Indians on Kaur’s appointment as leader.

Out of the current men’s franchises, only the Mumbai Indians have experience in owning women’s teams and have a record-setting four IPL championships.

Given that every game will be played in Mumbai and that Charlotte Edwards, the Head Coach, and Jhulan Goswami are on the coaching staff, there will be great expectations for this franchise (Bowling Coach).

They also have the services of the leading run scorer from the recently finished T2o World Cup, Natalie Sciver Brunt, a stylish all-rounder.

This team also includes Amelia Kerr and Heather Graham, who will work wonders in the upcoming WPL 2023.

In the coming 72 hours, the Women’s Premier League 2023 Opening Ceremony will begin, including major Bollywood stars on stage before the first match at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
