WPL 2027 Full Squads: Complete Players List of All 5 Teams After the Auction

The WPL 2027 mini auction in Kochi is complete, and all five franchises now know what they are working with for the fifth edition of the Women’s Premier League, scheduled from January 14 to February 7, 2027. A total of 25 players were sold on October 28, 2026, from a shortlist of 146, and three teams — UP Warriorz, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants — now have full 18-member squads, while Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru finished with 17 players each and one slot still open.

Below is the complete squad list for every team after the WPL 2027 auction, with new signings and their prices marked. Retained players are listed first for each franchise, followed by the auction buys.

WPL 2027 squads summary after auction

Team	Retained	Bought at auction	Final squad size
UP Warriorz	10	8	18
Mumbai Indians	12 (including Tara Norris via trade)	6	18
Gujarat Giants	15	3	18
Delhi Capitals	13	4	17
Royal Challengers Bengaluru	13	4	17

UP Warriorz WPL 2027 squad: Molineux headlines eight signings

UP Warriorz were the busiest team at the auction, and they needed to be: they entered with eight slots to fill and the largest remaining purse of Rs 3.75 crore. Their headline buy was Australia captain Sophie Molineux at Rs 1.10 crore — the only crore-plus signing of the auction — after a bidding battle with her former team, RCB, who dropped out at Rs 1.05 crore.

Full squad: Deepti Sharma, Harleen Deol, Kranti Gaud, Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield, Pratika Rawal, Shikha Pandey, Shipra Giri, Simran Shaikh, Sophie Ecclestone, Sophie Molineux (Rs 1.10 crore), Sneh Rana (Rs 30 lakh), Grace Harris (Rs 30 lakh), Sushma Verma (Rs 30 lakh), Asha Sobhana (Rs 30 lakh), Kathryn Bryce (Rs 10 lakh), Manali Dakshini (Rs 10 lakh), Sahana Pawar (Rs 10 lakh).

The logic of the rebuild is clear. Lanning, Litchfield, Deepti and Ecclestone form the retained spine; Molineux adds left-arm spin and leadership, Harris brings back proven WPL firepower after her release by RCB, and Rana and Asha Sobhana deepen the Indian spin options. On paper, this is the most transformed squad of the off-season.

Mumbai Indians WPL 2027 squad: six uncapped Indians added

Mumbai Indians worked with the smallest purse in the room — Rs 90 lakh — after acquiring USA’s Tara Norris from UP Warriorz in a pre-auction trade, which also meant they had no overseas slot to fill. Their answer was a youth-first strategy: six uncapped Indian players, all at low prices.

Full squad: Amanjot Kaur, Amelia Kerr, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Natalie Sciver-Brunt, Nicola Carey, Rahila Firdous, Sajeevan Sajana, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Vaishnavi Sharma, Tara Norris, Shweta Sehrawat (Rs 20 lakh), Disha Kasat (Rs 10 lakh), Latika Inamdar (Rs 10 lakh), Bharti Rawal (Rs 10 lakh), Sanika Chalke (Rs 10 lakh), Akshita Bhagat (Rs 10 lakh).

The retained core does the heavy lifting here — Harmanpreet, Sciver-Brunt, Matthews and Kerr are among the biggest names in the league — and the six new faces are depth signings for a squad that already knows how to win titles. Shweta Sehrawat, the costliest of the six at Rs 20 lakh, is the one to watch.

Gujarat Giants WPL 2027 squad: Kamalini and a first for Ireland

Gujarat Giants had the least to do at the auction, having retained 15 players — more than any other franchise — and needing only three additions. They used them precisely.

Full squad: Anushka Sharma, Ashleigh Gardner, Beth Mooney, Bharti Fulmali, Georgia Wareham, Happy Kumari, Jintimani Kalita, Kanika Ahuja, Kashvee Gautam, Kim Garth, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Renuka Singh, Sophie Devine, Tanuja Kanwer, Yastika Bhatia, G Kamalini (Rs 40 lakh), Orla Prendergast (Rs 30 lakh), Samaira Raghav (Rs 10 lakh).

Kamalini, the wicketkeeper-batter Mumbai Indians had signed for Rs 1.60 crore in the past, arrives at her base price of Rs 40 lakh — one of the auction’s sharpest value buys. Prendergast, the Ireland all-rounder, becomes the first Irish player ever picked in a WPL auction, and uncapped all-rounder Samaira Raghav completes a full 18-member squad built around Mooney, Gardner and Devine.

Delhi Capitals WPL 2027 squad: Navgire plus record-breaking teenager

Delhi Capitals retained 13 players and spent Rs 1.05 crore on four additions, headlined by the auction’s most expensive Indian player.

Full squad: Annabel Sutherland, Chinelle Henry, Deeya Yadav, Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Wolvaardt, Lucy Hamilton, Mamatha Madiwala, Marizanne Kapp, Minnu Mani, N Sree Charani, Nandni Sharma, Niki Prasad, Shafali Verma, Kiran Navgire (Rs 75 lakh), Uma Kashvi (Rs 10 lakh), Kirstie Gordon (Rs 10 lakh), Nazma Khan (Rs 10 lakh).

Navgire, signed for Rs 75 lakh against a base price of Rs 40 lakh after competition from Mumbai Indians, adds middle-order power to a batting line-up already featuring Shafali Verma and Rodrigues. The story of Delhi’s auction, though, is Uma Kashvi: at 15 years and 202 days, the Karnataka all-rounder became the youngest player ever sold at a WPL auction, surpassing the previous record held by Deeya Yadav, who was 16 when signed last year. The right-arm spin-bowling all-rounder has already represented India Under-19 against Sri Lanka Under-19, and Delhi’s head coach Jonathan Batty has described her as a long-term project rather than a finished product. Scotland spinner Kirstie Gordon and Indian all-rounder Nazma Khan complete a 17-member squad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru WPL 2027 squad: champions move late

Defending champions RCB, led by Smriti Mandhana, retained 13 players and entered the auction with Rs 1.15 crore and five slots. After losing the Molineux race to UP Warriorz early — RCB dropped out at Rs 1.05 crore — they bought nothing in the first ten sets and did all their business in the accelerated rounds.

Full squad: Arundhati Reddy, Ellyse Perry, Georgia Voll, Lauren Bell, Nadine de Klerk, Pooja Vastrakar, Prathyoosha Kumar, Prema Rawat, Radha Yadav, Richa Ghosh, Sayali Satghare, Shreyanka Patil, Smriti Mandhana, Jess Jonassen (Rs 40 lakh), Tejal Hasabnis (Rs 30 lakh), Chloe Tryon (Rs 30 lakh), Vrinda Dinesh (Rs 10 lakh).

Jonassen, the Australia left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder who spent the first three WPL seasons with Delhi Capitals, was signed at her base price of Rs 40 lakh, with South Africa’s Chloe Tryon (Rs 30 lakh), India batter Tejal Hasabnis (Rs 30 lakh) — part of India’s recent 3-0 ODI series win over Zimbabwe — and Vrinda Dinesh (Rs 10 lakh) completing the additions. RCB spent Rs 1.10 crore in total and finished with 17 players, one slot unfilled, but with a champion core of Mandhana, Perry, Richa Ghosh and Shreyanka Patil intact.

WPL 2027 squads: what stands out

The headline contrast is between UP Warriorz, who rebuilt aggressively with eight signings, and Gujarat Giants, who barely needed to shop after retaining 15. Mumbai Indians’ six uncapped buys show what a team does when the purse is nearly empty but the core is elite, while Delhi’s four signings balance a marquee Indian buy in Navgire with a genuine piece of history in Kashvi. RCB’s late, base-price business looks calm rather than passive: champions rarely need to panic.

Two slots remain open across the league — one each at RCB and Delhi Capitals — and with the season starting on January 14, 2027, those gaps are worth watching if replacement signings are permitted. For now, the squads are set, and the most runs in WPL history charts will have new combinations to track: Lanning with Molineux and Harris at UP Warriorz, Mandhana with Jonassen and Tryon at RCB. The bowling lists will shift too — the most wickets in WPL history race now runs through Ecclestone at UP Warriorz and Jonassen’s left-arm spin at RCB — while the highest individual scores in WPL record books wait for the next big innings from these reshaped line-ups.
