\u201cI would say, not just restricted to T20 cricket, I would say overall development of women's sport. WPL has played a massive part, and I've been a witness to it in the last three years. The three editions that I've seen WPL grow, it's been outstanding. I mean, the stadiums have been full. If you have seen in the last three years what has transpired in WPL, it's been outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI mean, for any girl or any cricketer to play in front of a capacity crowd in a packed stadium, and if she can come up with some match-winning performances, I think the confidence level goes sky-high, and that has helped in cricket overall. I don't want to just restrict it to T20 cricket. I want to just talk about the overall development of the sport in India - I think WPL has played a massive part in that,\u201d said Muzumdar in a video posted on bcci.tv. on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Muzumdar, who took over as the side\u2019s head coach in October 2023, said seeing athletes grow under his guidance has given him immense satisfaction. \u201cI can talk for myself that if I do tend to see some kind of development, or if I'm involved in that athlete's growth and development, it gives me immense satisfaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIf you can see it with your own eyes and in front of you, sometimes the results come a little later, but if you have invested your time and energy with that athlete and if you can see the results, I think no greater satisfaction than that as a coach.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhen I went in to bat, I was in control of things. But when I'm sitting outside, in the dugout, and if somebody else is walking on to the ground, I mean, I'm not in control of that. So, all you can do is just prepare well, plan well, and then pray well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
