The Women's Premier League mini-auction 2025 involved bidding wars and some surprise bids. The five teams competed to fill 19 slots from a pool of 120 players to finalise their squads for next year's WPL. Mumbai cricketer Simran Shaikh became the costliest player bought by Gujarat Giants for Rs 1.90 crore where as veteran India player Sneh Rana went unsold on Sunday.
Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants were involved in a bidding war for Simran before the latter raised the bar to net her. Simran, 22, a middle-order batter, played a few matches for UP Warriorz during the 2023 WPL season. She has made 176 runs in 11 matches for Mumbai at 22 with a strike rate of 100.57 during the Senior Women's T20 Trophy in October-November this year.
Mumbai Indians, winners of the inaugural WPL, added South African veteran Nadine de Klerk, Akshita Maheshwari and Sanskriti Gupta for the upcoming edition of the WPL. Gujarat Giants, who have finished at the bottom of the WPL points table in the two previous editions, also added England's Danielle Gibson and Prakashika Naik.
Australia's Alana King joined her skipper Alyssa Healy at UP Warriorz, who also roped in Arushi Goel and Kranti Goud. No capped India player was bought during the auction, which included senior player Sneh Rana, who has captained Gujarat Giants in the first edition of the tournament.
