WPL Auction: 120 Players Set to Go Under the Hammer on December 15

During the Women's Premier League mini-auction set to take place on December 15, a total of 120 players will be up for grabs. Among them, 91 players are from India, 29 are from overseas, and three are from the Associate Nations. The auction will determine the final selection of 19 players for the league.

A total of 82 uncapped Indian players and eight uncapped overseas players have registered themselves for the auction.

Gujarat Giants will go into the exercise with the biggest purse of ₹4.4 crore. They need four players, including two overseas, from the mini-auction.

While UP Warriorz need to fill three slots, including one overseas player, the other three teams, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Delhi Capitals will have four slots each to fill. RCB have no slots left to find another overseas player.

India's Sneh Rana (base price ₹30 lakh) could be among the key attractions during the auction which will also have West Indies' Deandra Dottin ( ₹50 lakh), who did not feature for Gujarat Giants in the first edition after being selected and went unsold in the second.

England's Heather Knight ( ₹50 lakh) will also feature in the first set after withdrawing from the second WPL auction, which was held in Bengaluru and New Delhi.

The list, however, does not feature England bowler Issy Wong, who claimed the first-ever hat-trick in the competition, as well as New Zealand's Leah Tahuhu.

Wong was released by the franchise ahead of the third season.
