It’s time for that hammer to come down again. After a fascinating couple of days in Jeddah for the IPL, it’s time to get it done all over again, this time for the WPL in Bengaluru. Keep your calendars free on the 15th of December, 2024, for this promises to be a proper treat for your Sunday afternoon.
This WPL Auction, though, is a mini one, with most teams having retained a large part of their core squad. 14 players were retained, and Issy Wong, Fatima Jaffer, Humariaa Kaazi and Priyanka Bala were the four players released from Mumbai Indians’ Batch of 2024. So here’s what that leaves us with:
Slots to fill: 4 (3 Indians, 1 overseas)
Purse remaining: 2.65 cr INR
Total players available: 120 players (91 Indian and 29 overseas including three from Associate nations)
When: 15 December 2024, 3pm IST
Who’s on your wishlist? Who would you want to see come into the Blue and Gold as we ready up to get back our crown. The heartbreaking defeat in the Eliminator in the 2024 is still fresh in our minds, and we cannot wait for season three to replicate what did in season one. This is when it all begins!
