In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women’s franchise cricket tournament in March 2023. The tournament was named the Women’s Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month. Adani Group, the owners of the Gujarat Giants kabaddi team, bought the rights to one of the franchises.

On 30 January 2023, Mithali Raj joined Gujarat Giants as a mentor.
