The player auction ahead of the 2025 season of the Women's Premier League is set to take place on Sunday (December 15) - find the full list of players in each base price bracket here.
The third edition of the league is set to get underway next year. The final set of players shortlisted for the mini-auction, to be held on December 15, was released on December 7, and there are more than a few solid players up for grabs.
Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru made an early move ahead of the auction, securing the signature of Danni Wyatt-Hodge from UP Warriorz. They released Nadine de Klerk to accommodate the England batter. A few other significant releases were Issy Wong (Mumbai Indians), Laura Harris (Delhi Capitals), Lauren Bell (UP Warriorz) and Sneh Rana (Gujarat Giants).
West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin reversed her retirement from the game earlier this year to take part in the T20 World Cup and has registered for the auction at the highest base price of INR 50 lakh. The other two players registered in this price bracket are England captain Heather Knight and South African wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee, who recently recorded the highest score in women's T20 franchise history.
Three Associate players are part of the auction this year, all registered at the lowest base price of INR 10 lakh – Sarah Bryce (Scotland), Samaira Dharnidharka and Theertha Satish (both UAE). The WPL playing XI rules can make Associate players an attractive prospect, as they do not count as part of the four overseas players allowed in a lineup.
