While 29 overseas players are in the running for just five slots, the focus will primarily be on the 91 Indian players—nine of whom are capped and the rest uncapped.
Among the notable players is Lauren Bell, who was released by UP Warriorz. The English bowler has impressive stats, claiming 35 wickets in 27 T20I matches with an economy rate of 6.98, and she adds an aggressive presence on the field.
England captain Heather Knight could also attract attention. After leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2023, she opted out of the 2024 tournament to concentrate on international commitments. Knight has accumulated 2,121 T20I runs in 112 matches, including one century.
Delhi Capitals have released Indian spinner Poonam Yadav, whose experience can be game-changing. The 33-year-old leg spinner has taken 98 wickets in 72 matches, maintaining an impressive economy of 5.75.
However, the spotlight is on the youngest players in this auction: 14-year-olds Ira Jadhav and Anshu Nagar. Ira first picked up a bat at age eight, and now, six years later, she has registered for the WPL 2025 auction.
