History

In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023.[4] The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month.[5] GMR Group and JSW Group, the owners of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, bought the rights to one of the franchises.[5]

In February 2023, Jonathan Batty was announced as head coach of the side.[1] The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with Delhi Capitals signing 18 players for their squad.[6] At the inaugural tournament, Delhi Capitals qualified directly for the final after topping the group, winning six of their eight matches.[7] However, they lost in the final to Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.[3]
