The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has set January 26, 5 PM as the deadline day to register for the upcoming Women's IPL 2023 auction, as reported by Cricbuzz.

The long awaited women's IPL is all set to start this year, with 5 teams set to take part in the competition. The dates of the tournament are yet to be revealed.

The squads for the inaugural edition of the WIPL will be picked via a player auction, which will reportedly take place in February.

In the guidelines document sent out to the Indian players, the BCCI has called for both capped and uncapped players to register online to enter the player auction register.

As per the documents released by BCCI, there are three 'reverse' price categories when it comes to the capped players - INR 50 lakh, INR 40 lakh, INR 30 lakh - which will be the starting point for the bidding to commence.

Talking more about the women's IPL, the BCCI has already announced the release of an invitation to tender for the right to own and operate women's IPL.

The media rights auction of the tournament has already been postponed by four days by the BCCI and will now be conducted on January 16.
