Star Sports Network has the broadcasting rights for the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022 matches. Disney+ Hotstar is likely to livestream the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022 matches from May 23. However, it is yet to be known which Star Sports channels will live telecast the games.
Unlike the previous editions, Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami, Veda Krishnamurthy and Shikha Pandey are some of the notable names that will be missing the action in this edition. The BCCI has already named the 16-member teams contesting the event at Pune’s MCA Stadium.
While Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana have been retained as captains of Supernovas and Trailblazers, all-rounder Deepti Sharma has replaced Mithali as the skipper of Velocity. A total of 12 overseas players will be seen in action with Alana King the only cricketer representing Australia.
The performers in the recently held Senior Women's T20 Trophy have also been rewarded. The tournament's leading run-getter KP Navgire and leading wicket-taker Aarti Kedar will play for Velocity.
