Junior Bachchan also revealed that there won’t be addition of more teams to the league, but there are chances of launching a Women’s team. “We have a three year contract with the franchises and we want to give them time to settle down.

However, work is also going on for looking the possibilities of launching a women’s Pro league too.”
