WPL 2024: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday said Sintex, a Welspun World company, will serve as an Associate Partner for the TATA Women’s Premier League. The partnership will extend for a period of four years from 2024 to 2027.
Last month, BCCI announced the full schedule for the upcoming season of the WPL 2024 with Bengaluru and Delhi acting as the host cities for the second season of the tournament.
The tournament will span from February 23 to March 17, 2024, with the five teams battling it out to reach the final. The BCCI announced that there will only be singles headers for the season this time around, with all the matches starting at 7:30 PM IST.
Talking about BCCI's association with Sintex, BCCI president Roger Binny said: “We are thrilled to welcome Sintex on board as an Associate Partner for the TATA Women's Premier League. Their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and empowering women align perfectly with the values of the WPL.
