BCCI Moves WPL 2027 Mumbai Matches to Wankhede Stadium on ICC Request
The BCCI has confirmed shifting the second phase of the 2027 Women's Premier League (WPL) from Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium to Wankhede Stadium. This change, requested by the ICC, aims to allow sufficient pitch recovery time before the ICC Women's Champions Trophy 2027, which will be held at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) and Vadodara shortly after the WPL concludes. The WPL schedule remains unchanged, with the Mumbai leg, including the Eliminator and final, now at Wankhede from January 26 to February 7.
