UP Warriorz have named Australian icon Meg Lanning as their new captain ahead of Women’s Premier League (WPL 2026). The top-order batter, who was a part of Delhi Capitals Women (DC) until the previous season, was bought for Rs 1.90 crore at the mega auction in 2025. Lanning will replace all-rounder Deepti Sharma – who was the stand-in skipper for UPW in WPL 2025.
UPW name Meg Lanning as new captain
Lanning boasts of a prolific record as a captain in WPL, having led DC to the finals in all three seasons. The Australian now has a tall task in hand in helping UPW lay their hands on their maiden WPL trophy. The team has undergone a full-fledged revamp, with the team deciding to retain only one uncapped player in the form of Shweta Sehrawat ahead of the WPL 2026 mega auction.
