Misogyny to Acceptance: CSK Finally in WPL?

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has confirmed that the franchise is finally looking at entering women’s franchise cricket. You are now seeing a clear shift in thinking, as he openly said the next big step for CSK is to invest in women’s cricket.

CSK Eyes Entry Into WPL

If the plan moves ahead, you may soon see CSK competing in the WPL. Fans have welcomed this idea, as many of you have waited for one of the most successful IPL franchises to take women’s cricket seriously.

A Complicated Past With Women’s Cricket

CSK and women’s cricket have not shared a smooth history. The main reason has always been N. Srinivasan, the owner of CSK and a former president of BCCI.

Srinivasan’s Controversial Statements

He had earlier spoken openly against women’s cricket. You may remember his words where he said women had no business playing cricket and that the format existed only because of ICC rules.

Public Anger Still Lingers

Such remarks from a powerful figure had angered many people. Even today, you can see fans questioning what has changed for CSK to suddenly support the same system it once dismissed.

A Test For CSK’s Intentions

Now that Srinivasan is back at the helm of the Yellow Army, you will watch closely. The real test is whether Kasi’s vision becomes action or remains another statement without follow-through.
