The much-anticipated Women's Premier League 2026 player auction is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 27, in Delhi. A total of 277 players, comprising 194 Indians and 83 international cricketers, will go under the hammer as franchises aim to fill 73 available slots.
Each of the five franchises has the opportunity to retain a maximum of five players, with specific guidelines including the mandatory retention of at least one uncapped Indian player. This strategic retention phase allows teams to build a core squad before the bidding begins for other talents. The auction promises significant action and tactical decisions from team management.
