The Women's Premier League (WPL) mini-auction is set to draw attention on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with experienced Indian all-rounder Sneh Rana among the prominent players available for selection.
A total of 146 players are expected to go under the hammer, but franchises have only 27 available slots to fill, including 20 reserved for Indian players. The limited number of openings is likely to make team decisions and bidding strategies particularly important.
Rana, who was released by Delhi Capitals, is among the notable names looking for a new opportunity. Her experience and all-round abilities could make her an interesting option for teams seeking to strengthen their squads.
India middle-order batter Tejal Hasabnis is another player to watch at the auction. She is expected to follow proceedings closely while India's third ODI against Zimbabwe takes place in Vadodara.
Hasabnis had limited opportunities during the Zimbabwe series, facing just five balls in her only outing. However, she impressed in matches for India A against the touring Australia A side last month, giving her a potential case for consideration by WPL franchises.
With far more players available than places to fill, competition for contracts is expected to be intense. Teams will need to balance experience, recent performances and squad requirements while deciding which players to pursue.
The auction will provide players with an opportunity to secure a place in the next stage of the WPL, while franchises aim to build competitive squads with their limited slots.
