A MASSIVE 28 organisations have shown “expressions of interest” in the inaugural Women’s Cricket Super League, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said yesterday.

The ECB announced in June that the summer league will start in the summer of 2016, with the process of determining the six teams which will participate already underway.

ECB director of England Women’s Cricket Clare Connor said: “The level of interest shown in becoming a Women’s Cricket Super League team host through the initial ‘expression of interest’ process has been remarkable and reflects a strong, national appetite for a new and dynamic competition.
