Initially, there were 277 players in the auction, and then Jonassen pulled out due to injury. Now there are 82 overseas players and 194 Indians.

 Alyssa Healy could command a hefty price in today’s WPL auction thanks to her explosive batting record. In 17 matches, she has amassed 430 runs at an average of 26.75 and a strike rate above 130, including three fifties and a top score of 96*. Her aggressive style and ability to change games single-handedly make her one of the most sought-after overseas stars in the auction.

Sophie Ecclestone could emerge as the most expensive overseas pick in today’s WPL auction, given her proven impact with UP Warriorz. Over three seasons, she has claimed 36 wickets in 25 matches at an impressive average of 18.38, including a four-wicket haul. Her consistency, experience, and ability to control games with the ball make her a highly coveted asset for any franchise looking to strengthen their bowling attack.
