The league is open to all players..... The original 12 captains were chosen by the league presidents and they filled the other two spots on their own. So far no one has selected a woman but that's not to say they still won't..... the teams are due to have their one alternative chosen within the next couple of weeks. As well as the WPBL is also taking applications for a second alternate pool.... So who knows... you may see a woman playing in the WPBL this year.
