Big Bash League: Jhulan Goswami, the former India fast bowler and the highest wicket-taker in women’s ODIs, stated that franchise cricket is the way of the future for women's cricket and advocated for giving each franchise league priority.

Jhulan believes the rapid growth of T20 leagues such as the WPL, Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), The Hundred, and the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) has intensified the debate of club versus country in women’s cricket. She argued that these leagues are vital for the sport’s global growth and should be prioritised over bilateral series.

"Earlier, we saw these things happen for men's cricket but never expected it to happen for women's cricket, but that's happening. And I'm happy to see that. The ICC needs to take care, franchise cricket is the future of women's cricket. And that's the growth of women's cricket globally. You have to give priority to every franchise league; otherwise, cricket will not grow," Jhulan said on said on ESPNcricinfo's Powerplay podcast.
