WPL 2025 Auction: The Women’s Premier League (WPL) Auction for the third season is set to take place on December 15 in Bengaluru, BCCI confirmed on Saturday.

A total of 120 players, including 29 overseas cricketers will go uner the hammer as per the list announced. There are 91 Indian players included as well as three players from the Associate nations.

The WPL player Auction will consist of 82 Indian uncapped players and 8 uncapped overseas players.

19 slots are up for grabs, with 5 slots reserved for overseas players.

The Player Auction will begin at 3 PM IST on Sunday.

Gujarat Giants will go into the exercise with the biggest purse of Rs 4.4 crore. They need four players, including two overseas, from the mini-auction.

While UP Warriorz need to fill three slots, including one overseas player, the other three teams, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals will have four slots each to fill. RCB have no slots left to find another overseas player.

India's Sneh Rana (base price Rs 30 lakh) could be among the key attractions during the auction which will also have West Indies' Deandra Dottin (Rs 50 lakh), who did not feature for Gujarat Giants in the first edition after being selected and went unsold in the second.

England's Heather Knight (Rs 50 lakh) will also feature in the first set after withdrawing from the second WPL auction, which was held in Bengaluru and New Delhi.

The list, however, does not feature England bowler Issy Wong, who claimed the first-ever hat-trick in the competition, as well as New Zealand's Leah Tahuhu.

Wong was released by the franchise ahead of the third season.
