That itself sends out a strong message about how women\u2019s cricket should be viewed,\u201d Jhulan said.<\/p>\n<p>She described the league as much more than a domestic competition, calling it an important talent-identification platform. \u201cThis is not just a tournament. It is an ideal platform for budding cricketers. Scouts, selectors and coaches are watching closely, and players get the opportunity to perform under pressure and prove themselves,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Jhulan also praised CAB for fostering a culture of equality. \u201cThere is a beautiful culture within the CAB. Everyone is given equal respect. Facilities are extremely important for any athlete, and CAB has consistently invested in providing those opportunities to women cricketers,\u201c she said.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/india-squad-ireland-england-t20-series-full-list-of-players-shreyas-iyer-captain-vaibhav-sooryavanshi\/article71068797.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">India T20I squad for Ireland and England series: Shreyas Iyer named captain, Suryakumar dropped; Sooryavanshi gets maiden call-up<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Addressing discussions around visibility, Jhulan said the league\u2019s broadcast and streaming model continues to provide valuable exposure for players despite logistical challenges of running parallel competitions within a compact domestic window.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing is that the matches are being shown and followed. The women\u2019s matches are available online, which allows scouts, franchises and cricket followers to watch the players. Today, people consume a lot of sport digitally, so visibility is there, and that exposure is extremely important for young cricketers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jhulan, the ultimate objective of the Bengal T20 League is to create a pipeline of talent capable of progressing to the Women\u2019s Premier League and the Indian team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur target is to ensure more girls get opportunities at the highest level. WPL franchises and scouts are following the tournament closely. If players use this platform well, it can become a stepping stone to bigger opportunities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the growth of women\u2019s cricket in Bengal, Jhulan pointed to the increasing number of district, club and age-group tournaments and said the state is now producing players capable of competing on the national stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I started playing, we could not have imagined a platform like this. Today, players are getting professional support, better exposure and opportunities to build careers in the game.
