The Wankhede Stadium has replaced Brabourne Stadium as the venue for the Mumbai leg of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027. However, the dates and fixtures for the Mumbai leg will remain unchanged, as per the schedule announced earlier this month.
Under the original schedule, Brabourne Stadium, home to the Cricket Club of India (CCI), was set to host 11 matches in the second half of the tournament from January 26 to February 7, including the Eliminator and the Final.
"As CCI is also scheduled to host the inaugural ICC Women's Champions Trophy 2027, commencing on February 14, the gap between the conclusion of the TATA WPL and the start of the multi-nation tournament would not provide sufficient time for the pitches to recover," the BCCI said in a release.
