The Women’s Cricket Super League (WCSL), known as the Kia Super League for sponsorship reasons, is a semi-professional women’s cricket competition in England and Wales[nb 1] that began with its inaugural season in 2016. It launched with six teams playing in a Twenty20 format only, with the intention of adding a fifty over competition from 2017 onwards. In July 2017, the ECB announced that plans for the 50-over women’s league would be scrapped. Instead, the KSL is to be expanded starting from 2018 with each of the six teams to play ten group-stage games as opposes to five. The Southern Vipers were the first champions of the WCSL.
