"For a women's IPL, the general standard of the game needs to be good and Mithali feels that it has happened as the statistics of this World Cup suggests. "We now have a base, it will help even the domestic players in terms of exposure, but again it is up to the BCCI to organize the league. "But the skipper agreed that her team needs to buck as far as their T20 game is concerned especially after their disastrous World T20 campaign. "We put in the same hard work that we would put for the T20 World Cup, because it is a different format and requires different preparation. It will start very soon and it will be challenging as India have a long way to go in T20 format," concluded Mithali.
