After the conclusion of the gruelling first-ever Mega Auction of the Women's Premier League in New Delhi, all five franchises have locked in their squads for the 2026 season.
The WPL 2026 will take place early next year at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai and the BCA Stadium in Vadodara from January 9th to February 5th.
The UP Warriorz, who entered the auction with the largest purse, appear to be a team to beat, having managed to secure three of the top five buys of the auction.
They used the RTM card to keep Deepti Sharma for 3.2 Crores - Highest of the Auction - and also added the explosive opening batters like Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield from Australia.
On the other hand, some of the big names like Alyssa Healy, Alice Capsey and Heather Knight found no buyers and will miss the next edition of the WPL.
