On the other hand, Meg Lanning has been appointed captain of the UP Warriorz after being bought at the auction for Rs 1.9 crore. Previously, Lanning led Delhi Capitals to three consecutive finals in the first three seasons. However, she was released by the franchise before the mega auction.
In addition, some big players will not be part of the tournament. RCB’s Ellyse Perry and Delhi Capitals’ Annabel Sutherland have withdrawn for personal reasons. As a result, RCB have replaced Perry with Sayali Satghare, leaving them with only five overseas players, while Delhi Capitals have signed Alana King.
Furthermore, players like Alyssa Healy, Chamari Athapaththu, and Heather Knight went unsold at the auction, while Jess Jonassen, Tahlia McGrath, and Sophie Molineux did not register.
