Governor R N Ravi returning a Bill to ban online gambling and regulate online games, Chief Minister M K Stalin in a strong reaction said while legislations such as the three central farm laws and CAA are permitted, enactments that would save lives are not being allowed.

After years of clamour from cricketers, fans and media alike, the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League kicked off last weekend with the Ambani-owned Mumbai Indians sweeping aside the Adani-owned Gujarat Giants by 143 runs. This demolition by one of the most successful cricket franchises in T20’s short but storied history harkened back to 18 April 2008, when the legendary New Zealand batsman Brendon “Baz” McCullum’s blistering century set the men’s Indian Premier League (IPL) alight from the opening match itself. The past week saw that long-awaited breaking of the glass ceiling in the context of Indian women’s cricketers, who now finally have the chance to claim franchise T20 riches just like the men did 15 years ago. And that is why the burgeoning WPL is ThePrint’s Newsmaker of the Week. The road ahead remains long for the league to cement itself as viable rather than short-lived phenomenon, not only in improving the on-field product but also in the planning behind-the-scenes. Much like the broader history of the game on a global level, women’s cricket in India has also been associated with institutionalised other-isation and misogynistic attitudes, be it absurdly low payments made to women’s domestic cricket talent or the mere “lip service” by previous BCCI administrations towards the women’s game. Women’s cricket governance globally had merged with its male counterpart in 2005 and the subsequent merger of the Women’s Cricket Association of India with the BCCI happened the following year, but the game’s progress remained slow for the decade that followed.It was as recently as 2017 that former cricketer and then-BCCI office bearer Diana Edulji had alleged former BCCI chair N Srinivasan told her that women’s cricket in India “wouldn’t happen” if he had his way.Two years later, prominent male cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul had found themselves in hot water due to jokes and remarks.
