WPL Retentions 2025 Highlights: 71 players retained with 19 slots left to be filled, GG with biggest purse

A week after the IPL retentions, it's time for the announcement of retained and released players for all five teams in the Women's Premier League (WPL). Since, it's a mini-auction, the teams are unlikely to release players in wholesale, however, the teams like UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants, who failed to make it to the top three last season, are expected to undergo massive changes and hence may have the least number of players retained. Since the teams will also have an enhanced purse for the auction this time around, the likes of RCB, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians too would want to make full use of that, while keeping their core group.

    Will Delhi Capitals leave out Alice Capsey?

    Delhi Capitals are the unluckiest of the lot! Having qualified for the final directly twice in two seasons, the Capitals have lost on both occasions. The wicketkeeper problem remained for the Capitals and if they are targeting someone like Amy Jones, they might have to leave out an overseas player and Alice Capsey seems like the only potential name. However, Capsey has just picked up a fifer in WBBL! Will DC take the punt?

    RCB hit the first nail

    The only pre-season trade before the retentions took place from the Warriorz to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the defending champions with England opener Dannie Wyatt-Hodge reuniting with her Hundred partner Smiti Mandhana. It was an all-cash deal which means the RCB will have to mull over their overseas options - which are now eight and even if they go in the maximum limit of six, they will have to release two.

    Will UP Warriorz leave Chamari Athapaththu?

    Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu hasn't been in great form of late and didn't really light up the WPL 2024 for the UP Warriorz. Of late, she hasn't been in great form and the Warriorz will be keen to retain Lauren Bell, the English pacer.
