The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has launched a tender process, inviting bids from reputed organizations to secure “official partner rights” for the Women’s Premier League.
According to the BCCI, the Request for Quotations (RFQ) outlines the comprehensive terms and conditions that will govern the submission and evaluation of bids.
The process follows a set timeline: RFQs must be purchased by November 12th, any clarifications can be requested by November 14th, and final proposal documents are due by November 21st.
“The RFQ will be made available on receipt of a non-refundable fee of Rs 1,00,000 plus all applicable GST,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in a release.
Interested parties must email their payment details to rfq@bcci.tv as per the procedure outlined in the RFQ.
BCCI has clarified that only bids for product categories not marked as ‘Blocked’ or ‘Prohibited’ in the RFQ will be considered eligible.
“Any quotation for a blocked product category or a prohibited product category is ineligible and will be treated as non-compliant. It is clarified that mere purchase of the RFQ does not entitle any person to submit a quotation,” he added.
WPL auction 26-27 november
The Board of India is said to have stipulated WPL 2026 Auction on November 26th and 27th in New Delhi, with the teams being informally informed about the proposed venue, according to Cricbuzz.
Although billed as a marquee auction, it is expected to end in a single day. With only five teams in the league and teams limited to 18 players, the process should move quickly, even with up to 90 players applying.
For the first time, the Right to Match (RTM) rule will apply, allowing franchises to reclaim a released player by matching the highest bid during the auction. However, teams that retain all five players will have INR 9.25 million deducted from their auction purse and lose the opportunity to use RTM.
Mumbai Indians (MI) enter the auction as the defending champions having beaten Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2023 final, just like they did in the previous title clash. In contrast, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), despite winning last year’s championship, failed to qualify for the Eliminator in 2023 and 2025.
