Mumbai Indians' captain Harmanpreet Kaur is confident that WPL 2023 will cut down the gap between Indian and Australian cricket

Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur is confident that the WPL will cut down the gap between India, Australia and England cricket.

Speaking recently at a virtual press conference, she said:

"I think this is a great platform for all Indian players because we have been missing this tournament for a long time. Definitely for Australia and England the WBBL and Hundred have worked very well and after those tournaments, they have got so much young talent.”

Harmanpreet added:

"After the WPL we are also going to get some good talent and I am sure the difference you are talking about [between India and Australia sides] we would love to cut down. When you see a good talent coming up, you are definitely going to make a good team after the WPL."

A total of 22 matches, including two playoffs, will be played in WPL 2023.
