South African captain and in-form opening batter Laura Wolvaardt was among those who made it to the list, alongside fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur and India’s 2025 World Cup winning all-rounder Deepti Sharma.

It is worth noting that the WPL 2026 auction will be organised on November 27 later this month, i.e., roughly a month-and-a-half prior to the launch of the WPL 2026 season.
