NEW DELHI: The fourth edition of the Women’s Premier League will take place in Navi Mumbai and Vadodara, beginning on January 9.

Usually held during the February–March window, the league has been brought forward this year to accommodate the men’s T20 World Cup, which starts on February 7.

“The upcoming edition of the WPL will be played in Navi Mumbai and the final will be held in Vadodara,” WPL Chairperson Jayesh George said during his opening remarks at the WPL auction.

The tournament will once again follow a caravan model, with the first half of the league played at the DY Patil Stadium, the same venue where India lifted the women’s ODI World Cup earlier this month, before moving to Vadodara for the final on February 5.

Mumbai Indians are the defending champions of the league, which is now in its third season.
