WICL strives to bring about meaningful change to the traditional limiting perceptions that exist about women�s cricket. With a strong belief that women's cricket needs to move in the same way as tennis and golf, it was time to make it a stand-alone project. And that�s why then Director of WICL, Shaun Martyn brought Masaba Gupta as the official sporting apparel designer to design women�s playing and training cricket apparel. It seemed like the perfect idea at the time, because they were looking to create an identity through design and packaging of the sport. A partnership with this fantastic young designer seemed to complete the picture. In the times of IPL and T-20, presentation of the game and the players was an integral part of moving the women�s game to the next level, and they achieved that by bringing Masaba on-board, back in 2014.
