The PCB has announced the launch of women's T20 league, with the inaugural edition set to run alongside next year's PSL. There will be 12 games played, all of them in Rawalpindi, with the final due to take place on March 18 2023, the day before the Pakistan Super League final. The league will comprise four teams, with 18 players per side, including six foreign players.

"This event is aligned to our strategy of making Pakistan a stronger cricket playing nation across all formats and genders. We are not only creating attractive brands to strengthen our cricket economy, but through this tournament are also providing career opportunities to our women cricketers. The more our women cricketers will participate in high-pressure events, the more they will learn."

That means there could theoretically be a clash between the women's IPL and the women's T20 league in Pakistan, potentially impacting Pakistan's foreign options for the league.

"There's a lot of traction and a lot of takers for it," Ramiz had said at the time. "Pakistan women's cricket needs to improve a lot, and that will only happen when we give them an environment where they can make money and share the dugout with world-class players. We are also thinking of making first-class women's teams and attaching them with provincial teams."
