How much does WPL sponsorship cost?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has set the ball rolling for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) with media and franchise rights auction that fetched a premium. And now, all eyes are on sale of title sponsorship rights, which is also likely to see a strong valuation.

The cricket board issued a tender for the sale of title sponsorship rights of WPL for seasons from 2023 to 2027 and bid documents are available for purchase till February 9. While no base price has been set for the title sponsorship rights, it is estimated that the base price is likely to be Rs 35 lakh per match.

“Title sponsorship rights of men’s IPL (Indian Premier League) are around 5 percent of the league’s broadcasting value. WPL’s media rights valuation is Rs 7 crore per match and 5 percent of that is Rs 35 lakh per match, which will be the benchmark for title sponsorship rights value,” said Santosh N, Managing Partner, D and P Advisory.

He added that the value of the rights will go higher as the base is low. “There is more demand and the base value is low so it will go at a premium and can be in the range of Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore,” he said. The valuation WPL’s title sponsorship rights will be 3-5 percent of what Tata is paying for IPL, said Karan Taurani, senior vice-president, Elara Capital.

Tata Group replaced Vivo as the title sponsor last year, for which it paid around Rs 670 crore for a two-year sponsorship deal (2022 and 2023), or Rs 335 crore annually. “It will be a fraction of IPL because WPL is a new property,” he said. In the first scenario where the per match value of title sponsorship of WPL is estimated to be Rs 1 crore per match, the annual revenue from the rights will come to about Rs 22 crore, while it will aggregate to Rs 110 crore for the five-year period.

As for the second scenario where title sponsorship is expected to be 5 percent of men’s IPL, the value of WPL title sponsorship rights is estimated to be Rs 16.75 crore annually and Rs 83.75 crore for the five-year period. But Santosh said that WPL’s title sponsorship rights may get a better outcome as there is more interest.

Brands queue up According to a sports analyst, Rs 3.5 crore could be the benchmark for WPL’s title sponsorship rights. He pointed out that brands like FanCraze, Boost, and Ceat had come on board as the official partner of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022.

My11Circle was the title sponsor of the tournament. “HUL came back to cricket after a long time. So from an FMCG perspective, WPL is a dream market. FMCG brands will get more active during WPL,” the analyst said. Taurani said that brands that are more women-centric will show more interest in WPL. “For IPL, around 60-65 percent audience is male.

So we expect WPL to be 60 percent dominated by a female audience.” The hitch However, Santosh said that the title sponsorship may not have high value in terms of monetisation. “BCCI has struggled to monetise title sponsorship rights of IPL. In the last 15 years a lot of companies which got the rights pulled out before the tenure ended, including Pepsi and Vivo.” He said that the companies that picked up title sponsorship rights have not seen a strong return on investments.

Also, the rights value has not grown in tandem with other data points like media rights. “Like media rights, I doubt if title sponsorship rights will double from the Rs 440 crore per year Vivo was paying for IPL title sponsorship rights. This is because there are multiple avenues for brands to associate with IPL like franchise sponsorship including kit and jersey sponsorship (which costs Rs 15-25 crore).

We have observed over the last 5-6 years that companies are backing multiple teams instead of spending on one team or one rights to get more visibility.” Also, unlike men’s cricket which has a high recall value and has attracted a large audience with an average reach of 500 million viewers, women’s cricket is relatively new with an average reach of 20 million in India, noted Taurani.

• While title sponsorship rights value may not move the needle much as it is likely to contribute 5-10 percent of central pool revenue, the rights are important for WPL from a brand perspective.
• It (title sponsor) is important because we cannot have that space empty.
• It will give a major boost to brand WPL because IPL had a title sponsor for the last 15 years.” And because the cost is a fraction of IPL, a lot of new companies like startups and digital platforms which cannot afford an IPL association will be interested, he added.

“Big firms will also be interested as they will make sure to get space in a cricket league at a fraction of cost.”

Which team is more powerful in WPL 2023?

WPL 2023 Auction: Who were the best and worst performing teams? After all the hype, the maiden Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 auction took place in Mumbai on Monday, February 13. Five franchises featured in the first-ever WPL auction – Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants, and UP Warriorz.

• While 448 players were shortlisted to go under the hammer, 87 cricketers ended up being sold, 30 of them being overseas players.
• A total of ₹59.50 crore was spent on auction day.
• India Women’s batting star Smriti Mandhana was the first player to go under the hammer and was also the most expensive purchase at the auction, being sold to RCB for Rs 3.4 crore.

Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner (₹3.2 crore – Gujarat Giants), England’s Natalie Sciver (₹3.2 crore – Mumbai Indians), Deepti Sharma (₹2.6 crore – UP Warriorz) and Jemimah Rodrigues (₹2.2 crore – Delhi Capitals) completed the top five list at the WPL auction.

• India captain Harmanpreet Kaur was purchased only for ₹1.8 crore by Mumbai Indians.
• With the auction over, we analyze the best and worst-performing teams at the WPL auction.1.
• Delhi Capitals Delhi Capitals purchased 18 players at the WPL auction.
• While they did not get Smriti Mandhana or Harmanpreet Kaur, they picked up Jemimah Rodrigues (Rs 2.2 crore) and Shafali Verma (Rs 2 crore), respectively, two of India’s rising stars with the bat.

Rodrigues and Shafali played key roles in India Women’s record T20 World Cup 2023 triumph over Pakistan Women, and their careers are on the upswing. Both players were picked at a smart price, allowing Delhi to explore good overseas options. And so, Delhi also purchased Australian captain Meg Lanning for Rs 1.1 crore and South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp for Rs 1.5 crore.

• Delhi also went for left-arm spinner Radha Yadav for Rs 40 lakh and pace bowler Shikha Pandey for Rs 60 lakh – both great budget buys.
• The DC squad has a good balance of quality Indian and overseas players.
• Incredibly, even after putting together a strong team on paper, they were still left with a purse of Rs 35 lakh.

Best buy: Shafali Verma Rs 2 crore 2. Royal Challengers Bangalore Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) WPL auction 2023 began with a bang. They bought Smriti Mandhana for Rs 3.4 crore. She was the first player to go under the hammer and also the most expensive.

Bangalore also acquired the services of experienced Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry for Rs 1.7 crore, apart from picking the Indian duo of keeper-batter Richa Ghosh and pacer Renuka Singh for Rs 1.9 crore and Rs 1.7 crore, respectively. RCB enjoyed even better luck as they purchased New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine for her base price of Rs 50 lakh.

They didn’t finish first because they were forced to cut down on big purchases in the second half of the WPL auction. They spent Rs 9 core on five players and added up players towards the end. To their credit, they were alert enough to pick up international stars Heather Knight (Rs 40 lakh) and Dane van Niekerk (Rs 30 lakh) in the accelerated round of the auction.

These two purchases boosted their WPL 2023 squad significantly. Best buy: Smriti Mandhana Rs 3.4 crore 3. Mumbai Indians Undoubtedly, Mumbai Indians had the best deal at the WPL auction. Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur was expected to be among the Top 3 three buys at the bidding table. She did not even end up in the Top 5.

MI, it was, who purchased Harmanpreet for Rs 1.8 crore after backing out of the bidding war with RCB for Mandhana. Having purchased Harman for a steal, MI had a great opportunity to boost their squad strength significantly. They picked up seasoned England all-rounder Nat Sciver for Rs 3.2 crore.

1. Among their other big buys, they went for New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr at Rs 1 crore and Indian medium-pacer Pooja Vastrakar for 1.9 crore.
2. There is not much depth after that, though.
3. Yastika Bhatia at Rs 1.5 crore has elicited mixed views.
4. They got West Indies skipper Hayley Mathews for only Rs 40 lakh.

However, Mumbai could have gone for a couple of more proven players. The balance in the squad seems a bit skewed, with some exceptional names combined with ones looking to make their name. Best buy: Harmanpreet Kaur Rs 1.8 crore 4. UP Warriorz UP Warriorz, it seemed, were clear they wanted a star all-rounder in their team.

Their aim was fulfilled as they purchased seasoned Indian cricketer Deepti Sharma for Rs 2.6 crore. Apart from Deepti, they specifically looked to go after foreign players. And so, they picked up England left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone for Rs 1.8 crore, Aussie all-rounder Tahlia McGrath for Rs 1.4 crore, South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail for Rs 1 crore, and prolific Australian keeper-batter Alyssa Healy for Rs 70 lakh.

While the abovementioned names are all match-winners in their own right, the rest of the squad doesn’t paint a very impressive look. They have filled up their squad with Indian players. Rajeshwari Gayakwad at Rs 40 lakh is a good budget buy, while all-rounder Devika Vaidya at Rs 1.4 crore is an intriguing purchase.

1. They have also gone for Anjali Sarvani (Rs 55 lakh), Kiran Navgire (Rs 30 lakh), Parshavi Chopra (Rs 10 lakh), and Shweta Sehrawat (Rs 40 lakh).
2. Best buy: Deepti Sharma Rs 2.6 crore 5.
3. Gujarat Giants Gujarat Giants had a bizarre WPL auction, to be honest.
4. At one point, it seemed they didn’t want to purchase Indian players.

Gujarat picked up in-form Aussie all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner for Rs 3.2 crore, Australian star keeper Beth Mooney for ₹2 crore, England batter Sophia Dunkley for Rs 60 lakh, and Australian star Annabel Sutherland for Rs 70 lakh. They also did well in picking up West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin for Rs 60 lakh.

Are Pakistani players in WPL?

Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof rues lack of global T20 league opportunities

Teen sensation Ayesha Naseem might have made the cricket world sit back and take notice of her batting prowess against India in the T20 World Cup but her skipper Bismah Maroof is pained at the realisation that Pakistani women won’t be part of the WPL auction.Maroof, who scored one of her best T20 half-centuries (68 off 55 balls) and young Naseem (43 not out off 25 balls) did push India to the limits but on Monday when most of the women internationals in South Africa would be hoping for a bid, Pakistani girls would only be able to watch it on their phones.Pakistani players (male or female) are not allowed in BCCI’s flagship events – IPL and now Women’s Premier League (WPL).

“We as Pakistan, you know we don’t get many opportunities to play in the leagues that’s very unfortunate. Of course, we are not liking that and definitely we will love to play every opportunity we get in the leagues but yeah that’s what it is and we can’t control that,” Maroof said.

On the team’s defeat against India, Maroof pointed at mistakes in the bowling department. “I think overall we played very good cricket throughout the match but I think we did have errors in our bowling. I think that was cautious but overall, I think it was a very good match and we will take that forward and be better in the next game.” Maroof praised India’s batting depth.

“Yeah, we know that will be close because we know that India have a very deep batting. So it was just the ball in the right areas and I think we are on the wrong side today (Sunday) but yeah learning from this we will take that forward in the next game and improve,” she said.
