The Women’s Premier League (WPL) Auction will take place today at 3:30 PM, and all five teams are ready to make strong moves for the upcoming season. This time, the teams have shown more confidence in their current squads. Altogether, the five franchises have retained only 17 players, which is fewer than expected. This means the auction pool will be exciting, with many players available for teams to pick.
Among all franchises, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will enter the auction with the smallest purse. Because they retained strong core players, they have limited money left but still plan to target specific talent to strengthen their squads. Despite the low purse, both teams are confident they can find impactful players.
On the other hand, franchises like UP Warriorz, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Gujarat Giants have a bigger purse available. These teams may look to rebuild their squads and bring in fresh talent, especially young Indian players who performed well in domestic tournaments.
This year, the auction is expected to focus on all-rounders, as they add balance to any T20 team. Many teams are also looking for death-over bowlers, power hitters, and top-order batters who can give a strong start.
The retention pattern shows that teams are becoming clearer about their long-term strategy. Mumbai Indians retained their match-winning players like Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt, while Delhi Capitals continued with Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma. Both teams now need only a few players to complete their squads.
With only 17 players retained overall, today’s auction might be one of the most competitive WPL auctions so far. Fans are looking forward to surprising bids, big money picks, and new faces making their debut.
The auction will be broadcast live, and all cricket fans are excited to see which players will get big offers and which teams will build the strongest XI for the next season. Today’s auction may change the shape of the league and bring new stars into the spotlight.
