Molineux and Dunkley set maximum base price of ₹50 lakh at WPL mini auction
Sophie Molineux and Sophie Dunkley are the only two players at the ₹50 lakh maximum base price for the WPL mini auction on October 28 in Kochi.
Sophie Molineux and Sophie Dunkley have set their base price at the maximum ₹50 lakh for the Women's Premier League mini auction in Kochi on October 28.
The BCCI has listed 146 players for the 27 available slots. UP Warriorz hold the biggest purse at ₹3.75 crore, while Gujarat Giants sit on ₹1.25 crore, Royal Challengers Bengaluru on ₹1.15 crore, Delhi Capitals on ₹1.1 crore and Mumbai Indians on ₹90 lakh. The next tier, at ₹40 lakh, includes G Kamalini, Kiran Navgire, Heather Graham and Jess Jonassen.
Twenty-seven overseas players are in the pool, six of them from associate nations. Mumbai Indians already traded Tara Norris from UP Warriorz for ₹10 lakh, so UP Warriorz need to fill eight slots from scratch.
CricHubb Take
Molineux's price tags her as a franchise leader in a league that still has no settled hierarchy among overseas captains; Dunkley's fee shows England white-ball regulars can command top dollar even without an IPL track record.
