WPL franchises target capped Indians at mini-auction

Franchises will target capped Indian players and established overseas talent when the WPL mini-auction opens on October 28 in Kochi. UP Warriorz hold the biggest remaining purse at Rs 3.75 crore and eight vacancies to fill.

Available capped Indians include G Kamalini, Kiran Navgire, Sneh Rana, Taniya Bhatia and Saika Ishaque. Overseas options are Sophie Molineux, Grace Harris, Jess Jonassen, Chamari Athapaththu and Sophia Dunkley.

Sixteen-year-old Ira Jadhav could draw attention too. She scored an unbeaten 346 in last year's Women's Under-19 One-Day tournament. Twenty-seven slots remain across the five franchises, seven of them overseas.
