(Table: Bell's stats in T20Is and Women's Hundred)
Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, Lauren Bel l brings something rare to women’s cricket, which is genuine bounce. The England fast bowler was picked up by RCB at ₹90 lakhs. Bell’s height allows her to hit hard lengths and trouble batters with extra lift. She has already impressed in The Hundred and the Women’s Big Bash League. In the WPL, she could be a handful, especially with the new ball. If Bell finds an early rhythm, she has the tools to change games quickly. 2. Linsey Smith

(Table: Linsey's stats in T20Is and Women's Hundred)
Linsey Smith may not be a flashy name, but she is one of the most consistent left-arm spinners in the game today. She is also with RCB in WPL 2026 after being picked up for ₹30 lakhs. Smith has been a regular wicket-taker in domestic leagues across England, Australia and New Zealand. In Indian conditions, where slow bowling often plays a key role, Smith could be a real asset. Her ability to choke runs in the middle overs and pick up timely wickets makes her a player to watch. 3. Lizelle Lee

(Table: Lizelle's stats in T20Is and WBBL)
Lizelle Lee may not be young, but her WPL debut is highly anticipated. The former South Africa opener has been one of the most destructive batters in women’s cricket over the last decade. She will play for Delhi Capitals this year after bagging a ₹30 lakh contract during the auction. Her recent record-breaking knocks in the WBBL and domestic cricket show she is still at the peak of her powers. Her experience, aggression and calm presence could be crucial in tight games. 4.

(Table: Trisha's stats in T20s)
Gongadi Trisha arrives with a big reputation. The all-rounder from Telangana was one of the standout performers in India’s U19 World Cup triumphs and created history by scoring the first-ever century in a Women’s U19 T20 World Cup. What makes Trisha special is her balance. She can bat in the top order, bowl useful leg-spin and field with energy. UP Warriorz can surely benefit from her strength. At just 20, she already shows strong game awareness. WPL will test her against senior professionals, but her fearless approach and big-match temperament suggest she is ready for the challenge. 5. Deeya Yadav
At just 16, Deeya Yadav is already being spoken about as a future star. Picked up by Delhi Capitals at the mega auction, she became the youngest player ever to earn a WPL contract. Her rise has been rapid and eye-catching. Deeya first grabbed attention with a stunning double century in the U15 One-Day Cup, and since then, she has only grown in confidence. In domestic T20 cricket, she has consistently scored runs at a healthy strike rate and shown maturity beyond her years. The WPL 2026 could emerge as the stage where she would announce her entry into the cricketing world.
