Who made the cut for the Women’s Premier League 2026? Full team-wise squads after the mega auction

The WPL 2026 mega auction in New Delhi turned into a long, busy day as all five teams tried to rebuild and balance their squads for the coming season.

The auction room at the JW Marriott in Aerocity stayed loud with bidding calls, surprise picks and a few shocking moments when big names went unsold. It was a huge pool of 277 players and teams had plenty of options, but they still fought hard for a few top stars.

The auction allowed teams to fill 67 total slots, out of which 23 were overseas places. There were 194 Indian players and 83 foreign players in the main list.

Some of the biggest names in women’s cricket were part of the list like Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh, Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr, Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning, Sophie Ecclestone and Laura Wolvaardt.

The biggest news of the day belonged to Deepti Sharma, who became the most expensive player of WPL 2026, going for a massive ₹3.20 crore. UP Warriorz used their Right to Match (RTM) to bring her back. 

Amelia Kerr turned out to be the costliest overseas pick, as Mumbai Indians secured her for ₹3 crore. Alyssa Healy and Heather Knight did not find any takers this time.
