WPL 2026 Auction: Full list of Indian and overseas stars to go under hammer
A total of 277 players, including Indian and overseas, will be up for grabs during the WPL 2026 mega auction
The first-ever mega auction for India’s women’s franchise-based cricket tournament, the Women’s Premier League (WPL), is set to take place in Delhi on Thursday, November 27. The auction will see a total of 277 players set to go under the hammer for the 73 vacant spots in the five teams. The marquee players’ list, with the likes of Deepti Sharma, Alyssa Healy and Sophie Ecclestone, is set to fetch big prices, with many uncapped players also expected to get some unexpected price tags. But before the much-anticipated auction takes place, let’s take a look at the full list of players set to go under the hammer.
WPL 2026 auction: Marquee players’ list
A total of eight players are set to go under the hammer first in the marquee players’ list with Rs 50 lakh as their base price.
Meg Lanning
Meg Lanning returns to the auction pool after guiding Delhi Capitals to three straight finals. Although she has stepped away from international cricket, her consistency in global T20 leagues remains unmatched. Lanning has piled up nearly 1,000 WPL runs, including nine half-centuries, reflecting remarkable stability at the top. With her recent BBL form — over 300 runs and two centuries — she remains one of the most reliable batting options available.
Sophie Devine
Sophie Devine’s name adds instant weight to the auction list. Even after retiring from international cricket, her strike power and seasoned leadership make her a sought-after pick. Devine has a history of turning games inside the powerplay and famously fell just short of the fastest WPL century with a blazing 99. Her ability to set the tone early makes her an invaluable top-order asset.
Sophie Ecclestone
England’s premier left-arm spinner, Sophie Ecclestone, continues to be a high-value target thanks to her ability to control games with both accuracy and turn. With 36 wickets from 25 WPL outings, she has been one of the most dependable bowlers in the league. Ecclestone’s lower-order hitting also gives teams additional depth, making her a long-term investment with significant upside at just 26.
Renuka Singh Thakur
Renuka Singh Thakur enters the auction with the reputation of a potent new-ball specialist. Although her WPL stint with RCB didn’t yield big numbers — 13 wickets in 23 matches — her ability to swing the ball at pace remains a rare skill among Indian fast bowlers. Renuka’s experience and renewed confidence could make her a valuable domestic signing for sides looking to strengthen their powerplay attack.
Amelia Kerr
New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr continues to grow into one of the most complete T20 cricketers. At only 25, she already boasts 40 WPL wickets and over 400 runs, showcasing her dual-impact value. A dependable middle-order batter and a strike bowler capable of breaking partnerships, Kerr offers both stability and versatility. Her experience despite her young age makes her one of the smartest investments in this year’s pool.
Alyssa Healy
Alyssa Healy remains a marquee name thanks to her explosive presence at the top of the order. In 17 WPL appearances, she has accumulated 428 runs, with a standout 96* that highlighted her destructive potential. Although she hasn’t produced a defining season yet, Healy’s ability to change a game in a handful of overs ensures she will be one of the most contested overseas picks.
Laura Wolvaardt
Fresh off a stunning World Cup where she struck centuries in the semifinal and final, Laura Wolvaardt enters the auction with tremendous momentum. Her elegance and consistency have translated well into T20 leagues, including her 342-run haul for Gujarat Giants. As a young captain with proven temperament, Wolvaardt offers long-term stability for any franchise seeking a dependable, technically strong opener.
Deepti Sharma
One of India’s premier all-rounders, Deepti Sharma heads into the auction after a standout World Cup where she was named Player of the Tournament. Known for her sharp off-spin and composed batting, Deepti has produced over 500 runs and 27 wickets in the WPL. Her leadership experience with UP Warriorz and her ability to influence matches in multiple phases make her a highly strategic buy.
