WPL mega auction from 3:30 PM today
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Women's Premier League (WPL) mega auction is scheduled to begin today at 3:30 PM. 5 teams have retained 17 players, so 73 players will be available for sale in the auction. Teams have Rs 41.10 crore to buy them. However, 277 players will participate in the auction, meaning approximately 200 players will remain unsold.
In WPL, a mega auction takes place every 3 years, giving franchises a chance to rebuild their teams. The last mega auction was held in 2022. After this, mini auctions were held in 2023 and 2024. In mini auctions, many players can be retained, whereas in mega auctions, a maximum of 5 players can be retained.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) organizes the country's two franchise leagues, the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Women's Premier League (WPL). BCCI will also conduct the WPL mega auction on November 27. The auction is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM at a hotel in Aerocity, New Delhi.
BCCI has shortlisted 277 players for the auction. Among them are 194 players from India and 66 from abroad. Of these, 159 are uncapped players who have not made their international debut. However, out of 277, a maximum of 73 players can be sold, because there are only that many vacant spots in 5 teams. These could include 50 Indian and 23 foreign players.
