Players Retained And Released By All Teams in WPL: On November 7, the five Women’s Premier League (WPL) franchises revealed the list of players retained and released before the WPL 2025 auction.
Among the surprise releases made by the franchises are Sneh Rana, Poonam Yadav, Heather Knight, Issy Wong, and Lea Tahuhu.
England seamer Wong is the first player to take a WPL hat-trick and had contributed to Mumbai Indians’ title-winning campaign in WPL 2023. England captain Heather Knight was part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s title-winning side in WPL 2024. Yet both English stars have been released by their respective franchise. All-rounder Sneh Rana led Gujarat Giants in the inaugural season but now has been shown the door.
Gujarat have also released Kathryn Bryce and Lea Tahuhu. They will have the largest purse of INR 4.4 crore of all teams heading into the WPL 2024 auction.
The Meg Lanning-led Delhi Capitals, who finished as the runners-up in both seasons, have decided to part ways with experienced leg-spinner Poonam Yadav and Australia powerful batter Laura Harris.
Earlier, RCB had traded in Danni Wyatt-Hodge from Gujarat.
