The mini-auction of the 2025 Women's Premier League is all set to take place in Bengaluru on Sunday, December 15, with 120 players up for grabs at the event. This will be the third season of the tournament and ahead of it, a lot of eyes will be on the Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants, who will look to fill the necessary gaps and build teams that can win the WPL.

Just 19 slots need to be filled between the five teams and hence, the hype around this auction is as low as it could be. This might be the smallest of mini-auctions ever and is expected to finish within two hours.

From a long list of more than 400 names, BCCI cut it down to 120 based on inputs and interest that the franchises showed in these players. This list includes 91 Indians, nine of them capped and 29 overseas players, who will vie for a maximum of five slots.

The capped Indian players include allrounders Tejal Hasabnis, C Prathyusha, Sneh Rana, Shubha Satheesh, Mansi Joshi, wicketkeepers Sushma Verma and Nuzhat Parween, leg-spinner Poonam Yadav and batter Madhuri Mehta.

The Giants, owned by Adani Sportsline, have the biggest purse of Rs 4.4 crore available to fill four slots, of which two can be overseas. Some of the big overseas names available are England pacer Lauren Bell, Australia medium-pacer Lauren Cheatle and South Africa allrounder Nadine de Klerk.

At Rs 2.5 crore, the Capitals, runners-up of the first two editions, have the smallest purse.

The WPL 2025 auction will begin at 3 pm IST and will be available on live streaming and telecast in India. Live streaming will be on JioCinema. It will be telecast live on Sports18 1 and Sports18 1 HD, Star Sports 1 and Star Sports Hindi TV channels in India.
