Firstpost  

Since 2016 Rio Olympics, women athletes are among the biggest flagbearers in their respective sports. Experiments with women’s events But when it comes to other team-based sports, the Hockey India League and the Indian Super League have no rivals of the same stature in the women’s event. While PKL held the Women’s Kabaddi Challenge for one season in 2016, the league last season held the KBD Juniors event instead of the Women’s Kabaddi Challenge, essentially abandoning the women’s kabaddi initiative. “The big problem we faced while discussing the women’s volleyball league was that there were not too many female players who could have been distributed across the six teams. But we strongly feel that a women’s league in volleyball will do well in India.” While the Hockey India League was organised by Hockey India for five seasons, they chose to postpone the 2018 edition.
