Speaking after the team's impressive run in the tournament, Jayaswal expressed his happiness at the way the players have performed this season.

As you can see, the popularity of women's cricket is increasing in India. Last year, our women's team won the World Cup, and we are hopeful that more and more girls from the Vidarbha region, especially from NECO Master Blaster, will go on to represent the country," he said.
Addressing the players participating in the Vidarbha Women's Premier League, Jayaswal urged them to seize the opportunity and perform to the best of their abilities.

Beautiful message from Anand Jayaswal! It's heartening to see corporate houses investing in women's sports at the grassroots level in Vidarbha. This is exactly what we need - platforms like VPL where girls can showcase their talent. Let's hope many from this team make it to the Indian squad! 💪
It's great that they're emphasizing discipline across all departments - batting, bowling, and fielding. The standards in domestic women's cricket have risen so much, and it's owners like this who make it possible. More power to these young players chasing the dream! 🇮🇳
Honestly, it's good to see but we need more such initiatives across India, not just in one region. Women's cricket infrastructure is still catching up in smaller towns. That said, kudos to NECO for investing in local talent - hope they inspire other corporates to follow suit. A little more focus on coaching facilities at the grassroots would go a long way too.
The momentum from the Women's World Cup win is being channeled perfectly at the domestic level. NECO Master Blaster's commitment to promoting sports is commendable. Girl power at its best - looking forward to seeing Vidarbha players in the Indian jersey soon! 🔥
Such an uplifting message! 'Work towards representing India' - those words will surely motivate these young players. The VPL is providing a great platform, and it's wonderful to see owners personally encourage the team. This is how we create a pipeline of talent for the national side. Go girls! 🏆
