I appreciate the league's focus on local talent, but I wish they'd include more women's teams too. Mumbai has amazing female cricketers who deserve this platform.

That's about 100 players per team spot... the competition will be fiercer than a Mumbai local train during rush hour! 😅

Hoping they improve the streaming quality this season. Last year's production wasn't great, which is surprising for a city like Mumbai.
