Before the start of the WPL season, Shahid expressed his passion for cricket and highlighted the significance of the league in advancing women’s cricket and its future. In the video, the actor said, “I am a huge cricket buff. I love cricket as a sport. I wanted to be a cricketer when I was a kid. Whenever I come into stadium, I am just full of lot of excitement. I like a kid who gets a chance to enter the candy store. So, it’s just great to be here. This is such a fantastic initiative. It’s great to see all the women, they are such amazing athletes and they deserve the best opportunities, and this is a great platform for them. I want to celebrate women’s cricket and I am very happy.”
“It was well overdue. I think that fact that finally it’s been put together. It just goes to show that, the future very much is going to be Women’s cricket. I have a daughter and she used to wonder whether a woman plays cricket as well because she is very sporty and my sons likes to play cricket and she wanted to compete with him. So, I showed some of the matches and I was like, girls can play cricket and they are great at playing cricket. I am very happy that league has finally come up and we will be sitting like how I sit with my son and daughter for IPL, we will be sitting for WPL as well,” he added.
