WPL 2027: Full Squads Of All Five Franchises After Mini-Auction

The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction is over. Australia captain Sophie Molineux was the most expensive buy at the 2027 Women's Premier League (WPL) auction, going to UP Warriorz (UPW) for Rs 1.10 crore in Kochi on Wednesday. In all, 25 players were sold in a quick mini auction that needed less than an hour of active bidding. UPW were the busiest franchise of the evening with eight signings, while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) did all their business in the accelerated rounds after losing out on Sophie early in the day.

Sophie, who was part of RCB's title-winning squad in 2024 and missed WPL 2026, entered the auction at a base price of Rs 50 lakh. RCB, her former side, pushed UPW all the way to Rs 1.05 crore before dropping out, having started the day with only Rs 1.15 crore in their purse.

The left-arm spin bowling all-rounder, who captained Australia to 2026 Women's T20 World Cup triumph in England, recently returned to international cricket after recovering from a hip injury.
