New Delhi, Nov 26 (NationPress) The Women’s Premier League (WPL), having completed three seasons, has already established itself as a significant platform for emerging cricketers to excel and join the Indian national team. N. Sree Charani and Kranti Gaud exemplify this trend, having been instrumental in India's recent ODI World Cup victory.

Prior to their rise, talents like Shreyanka Patil, Saika Ishaque, Asha Sobhana, Kashvee Gautam, and Titas Sadhu gained recognition through the WPL and subsequently earned their spots in the national squad after impressive showings.

As the mega auction for the 2026 WPL approaches, set for Thursday in New Delhi, the spotlight will firmly be on marquee international players. However, fans are keenly anticipating the uncapped Indian players, a pool of 142, that franchises may discover.

IANS highlights several uncapped cricketers, who are primed for potential bidding wars in the forthcoming WPL auction:

Vaishnavi Sharma (Base Price – INR 10 lakh)

This left-arm spinner made a remarkable entrance with a hat-trick during India's U-19 World Cup victory in Malaysia this year, where she topped the wicket-taking charts. Her remarkable journey continued as she led the Senior Women's T20 Trophy with 21 wickets from 11 matches at an economy rate of 6.47, followed by an impressive performance in the inter-zonal tournament, securing 12 wickets in five matches.

WPL scouts closely monitored both tournaments, noting Vaishnavi’s skill in generating sharp turn with her slower deliveries. With left-arm spinners being in high demand, expect fierce competition for Vaishnavi, hailing from Madhya Pradesh, a state known for producing players like Pooja Vastrakar and Kranti Gaud.

Deeya Yadav (Base Price – INR 10 lakh)

This explosive top-order batter, who has modeled her play after Haryana's Shafali Verma, had a stellar outing in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy, accumulating 298 runs in eight innings at an outstanding average of 59.5 and a strike rate of 128, including three half-centuries.

Continuing her form, Deeya shone in the inter-zonal T20s, scoring 151 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 149.5, leading North Zone to the finals. Her impressive range of shots has captured the attention of talent scouts.

Gurugram's Deeya first gained recognition in November 2023 when she scored an unbeaten 213 off 125 balls against Tripura in the U-15 Women's One-Day Trophy held in Raipur.

Mamatha Madiwala (Base Price – INR 10 lakh)

As teams seek a reliable wicketkeeper-batter for their lower order, Mamatha is a strong candidate. Her performance of 56 not out in India A’s win against New Zealand during the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup warm-up match at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2 in Bengaluru turned heads.

Despite Shafali Verma scoring 70 runs, Mamatha’s crucial innings of 56 from 60 balls, featuring six fours and a six, secured the victory in her debut match. She is representing Hyderabad in domestic cricket and has participated in the 2023 Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Hong Kong.

Tanisha Singh (Base Price – INR 10 lakh)

Among her Delhi teammates Bharati Rawal and Nazma Khan, Tanisha Singh stands out as a batting all-rounder who has garnered interest from various teams. Her all-round performance earned her the title of Most Valuable Player of the Season in the 2025 Women’s DPL, including an unbeaten 76. Additionally, Tanisha captained Delhi to win the U23 Women’s T20 Trophy last season.

G. Trisha (Base Price – INR 10 lakh)

The opener from Hyderabad has previously registered for WPL auctions without success. However, her performance in 2025 suggests that she might attract interest this time. Trisha played a pivotal role in India retaining the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup title, scoring 309 runs in seven innings and taking nine wickets with her leg-spin. In the final, she was the top scorer with an unbeaten 44 and also took three wickets, earning the Player of the Match award.

After scoring 147 runs in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, Trisha is currently competing in the U23 Women’s T20 Trophy, and with two U19 World Cup victories to her name, teams will be eager to sign her for the upcoming season.
