WPL 2026: The UP Warriorz will aim to start their 2026 WPL campaign on a high note, finishing in last position of the points table last year. This team has undergone a lot of changes. Abhishek Nayar, who is the head coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders, is now the Up Warriorz's new head coach. At the same time, Meg Lanning will be leading the team from the front.
Before the 2026 WPL auction, they had retained just one player, Shweta Sehrawat. They also made some bold decisions at the auction as they bought three of the five most expensive players- Lanning, Deepti Sharma, and Shikha Pandey. They also used their RTM card and brought back 4 players like Kranti Gaud, Deepti Sharma, Sophie Ecclestone, and Kiran Navgire.
Now that the whole team is changed, they will aim to bounce back this year. They have a mixture of young talent and veteran players, which will help the team give a strong start this season.
Let’s take a look at how their fixture and final squad set-up looks:
