While this decision may seem a continuation of existing policies, it underscores the distinct space women\u2019s cricket is carving in the cricketing world.<\/p>\n<p>The recent Rs 951 crore media rights deal for the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) further emphasizes the sport\u2019s value. Despite Cricket Australia and England and Wales Cricket Board bundling all games for global markets, the identity of women\u2019s internationals and leagues like the Women\u2019s Big Bash League remains clear within their markets.<\/p>\n<p>This decision, while not directly impacting broadcasters, accentuates the broader context of women\u2019s cricket\u2019s advancement. Additionally, Viacom 18 is expected to secure broadcasting rights for the India-Ireland Twenty20 Internationals, reinforcing cricket\u2019s increasing visibility, especially in digital platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has attracted attention by categorizing women\u2019s international games under the umbrella\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":29898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3546,3714,3223],"class_list":["post-6991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-bcci","tag-bcci-media-rights","tag-bcci-women"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
