Any chance of India creating a women's IPL is "still a very long way off", according to commentator Charu Sharma of All India Radio.

There have been a number of changes to women's cricket in India, especially since the women鈥檚 governing organisation merged with the International Cricket Council in 2005 to create one unified ruling board.

However, a professional women's league is still not one of them.

Sharma says that "at least other nations are beginning to show the way forward" but adds that any talk of such a league in India is, for now, "a pretty distant dream".
