Delhi Cricket Chief Pushes for Women's League Expansion

As of August 2025, the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) is planning to expand the women's cricket league in the city. DDCA president Rohan Jaitley stated that once the talent pool increases, the association would look to add two more teams to the current four-team women's competition.

Jaitley also highlighted the need for a new, state-of-the-art stadium in Delhi to meet the growing demand for cricket in the capital. The Arun Jaitley Stadium, which can accommodate around 35,000 spectators, may have been optimal a decade ago, but the city's appetite for the sport has "multiplied manifold" since then. Jaitley emphasized that the city requires another international-level stadium to cater to future needs.

Furthermore, the DDCA president expressed the possibility of having a separate window for the women's league, rather than overlapping it with the men's competition. This move aims to give women's cricket its own importance and prominence.
