India Women's Cricket team opener Smriti Mandhana will become the first Indian player to appear in  the women's cricket super league in England.

Smriti was signed by Western Storm and will represent them in the upcoming edition of the tournament that features six teams.

The India opener has scored over 826 runs with the highest score of 76 in the 40 T20Is that she has played so far.

Last month, she captained the IPL Trailblazers in the recent Women's T20 Challenge, which took place ahead of the VIVO IPL Qualifier One. Smriti has also featured in the Big Bash League for Brisbane Heat.

Smriti Shriniwas Mandhana is an Indian cricketer who plays for the Indian women's national team. In June 2018, the Board of Control for Cricket in India named her as the Best Women's International Cricketer.

The Women's Cricket Super League (WCSL), is a semi-professional women's cricket competition in England and Wales  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.

The new format will run for two seasons after which the Super League will be disbanded and ECB's new city based league becoming the premier women's domestic league.
