All eyes will be on last edition’s wooden-spooner Gujarat Giants, who have the biggest purse – INR 5.95 crore – heading into the auction with the task to pick 10 players after having let go of some quality overseas stars in Sutherland, Wareham, Garth and Sophia Dunkley. RCB, on the other hand, will be the second-busiest side at the auction as they need seven players, including three overseas, to complete their squad limit of 18 players. UP Warriorz, with INR 4 crore in their purse, and Mumbai Indians, with INR 2.1 crore, both have five slots remaining in their squad while last year’s finalists Delhi Capitals have a maximum limit of adding three players, including one overseas.
The second edition of the WPL is likely to be held in February-March window, ahead of the IPL. Unlike the inaugural edition, which was held in one city, the 2024 WPL will take place in Mumbai and Bangalore.
While Ismail has bowed out from the international stage, she continues to ply her trade in domestic franchise tournaments. She was roped in by UP Warriorz last season for Rs. 1 CR, a testament to her feisty pace. However, she took three wickets in three games with UP’s multiple overseas options hampering a steady spot for her in the team. She is one of the fastest with the ball and amassed 123 wickets in 113 international matches. She comes into the auction after a stint in the WBBL with the Hobart Hurricanes.

In the recently concluded edition of the Women’s Big Bash League, King finished as the second-highest wicket taker for Perth Scorchers with 19 wickets in 15 matches.
