The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 mega auction has forced franchises to make tough decisions. The five teams have released some of the biggest names in women’s cricket due to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) retention rules.
With no more than two overseas players and three capped Indian players allowed to be retained, several big names will go under the hammer at the auction later this month in Delhi.

Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone’s release is similarly surprising. Both are two of the best spinners in the world, and while the former is a proper all-rounder, the latter can whack it hard. Neither has been retained as the Gujarat Giants (GG) Women have decided to retain just one uncapped Indian player.
