T20 Leagues Are Not Just About Money; Learning & Sharing Knowledge Is Key: Chamari Athapaththu
Kia Super League: In the franchise T20 world of women’s cricket, Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu has been the first player from her country to take part in various leagues.
Since 2017, Chamari has literally become a globetrotting cricketer in the current era, featuring in the now-defunct Kia Super League and Women’s T20 Challenge, as well as in the Women’s Big Bash League, Women’s Caribbean Premier League, FairBreak Invitational, and Women’s Super Smash.
Despite the many opportunities to compete in T20 leagues and her remarkable performance for Sri Lanka in international cricket, Chamari was initially not picked for the 2023 WBBL and 2024 WPL. Later on, Sydney Thunder later recruited her as a replacement player for 2023 WBBL.
