'WPL played integral part in players' progress'

India coach Amol Muzumdar credited the landmark achievement of clinching the first-ever women’s T20I series win against England to the Women’s Premier League, saying it had played an “integral part” in the progress of the players. He also credited the competitive domestic season for the success.
India lost the fifth and final match on Saturday but they sealed the series 3-2 after securing a dominant six-wicket triumph in the fourth T20I at Manchester on Wednesday.
“WPL has been an integral part of the progress of the players. There's no doubt about it. But there are other tournaments as well in India which we really have a good look at it. There are so many domestic players playing.
“WPL is just a part of the initiative of the BCCI. So, I think it's been a happy hunting ground for us, the WPL. But at the same time, there are other tournaments which also take the importance,” said Muzumdar during the post-match press conference after India lost the thrilling fifth T20I by five wickets on the last ball.
