Simran Sheikh, Dottin top buys in WPL mini-auction

She did not feature in the WPL second edition.

But the 33-year-old Barbados player, the oldest in Sunday's mini-auction held in Bengaluru, made a smashing return with GG again acquiring her services, this time for ₹1.7 crore. With a base price of ₹50 lakh, the Windies all-rounder was the first player to be sold, after a bidding battle between UP Warriorz and GG.

Dottin had announced her retirement from international cricket in 2022, citing the West Indies cricket administration as one of the reasons behind her decision. However, she reversed her decision before the Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE in October. She had a successful campaign, scoring 120 runs in five innings and taking five wickets. Dottin also won the WBBL with Melbourne Renegades.
