WPL teams can retain up to five players ahead of mega auction
Gulf Today
|October 10, 2025
Women's Premier League (WPL) teams can retain up to five players ahead of the mega auction, with the retention deadline set for November 5, as per communication sent to teams. The auction itself will be held between November 25 and 29.
-
According to an email sent to franchises on Thursday, each team can retain a maximum of three capped Indian players, two overseas players, and two uncapped Indian players. However, if a team chooses to retain all five players, at least one must be an uncapped Indian player.
For the first time in the Women's Premier League (WPL), franchises will be able to use the right-to-match (RTM) option at the mega auction, allowing them to buy back players who were part of their squad in the 2025 season.
Each team will be given a maximum of five RTMs, but this number will reduce depending on how many players a team decides to retain ahead of the auction.
