WPL sets 146-player pool for October 28 auction

The Women's Premier League confirmed a pool of 146 registered players for the October 28 mini-auction. Twenty-seven slots are available across five franchises, with 20 reserved for Indian players and seven for overseas players.

Sophia Dunkley and Sophie Molineux head the list at a base price of INR 50 lakh each. Four players are listed at INR 40 lakh, 30 at INR 30 lakh, four at INR 20 lakh and 106 at the floor price of INR 10 lakh. The Indian contingent numbers 119 players, of whom 22 are capped and 97 uncapped, while the overseas pool stands at 27.

The auction will be streamed live on JioHotstar. Most players at the INR 10 lakh bracket are expected to go unsold given the limited slots.
