The 2016 Women's Cricket Super League or 2016 Kia Super League is a forthcoming Women's Twenty20 cricket league in England and Wales. It will be the first season that the domestic T20 competition, run by the ECB, will be branded as the Kia Super League. The league will consist of the 6 teams with the hosts and partners include seven First-class counties, five minor counties and three universities.[1][2][3][4] The ECB hope that the WCSL will develop as a semi-professional competition, with the intention of bridging the gap between the amateur Women's County Championship and international cricket, for which England players are centrally contracted as professionals.[5]

Competition format

Six teams will competes for the T20 title which will take place between 30 July and 21 August 2016. The six teams will play each other once in a round robin format; this will be followed by a finals day at the County Cricket Ground, Chelmsford.[6][7]
