3 players who are set to go big during WPL Auctions 2024

The Women’s Premier League auction for the 2024 season is around the corner. There is a lot of anticipation and all the franchises would be looking to strengthen their team in order to stake their claim on the title. In this article, we will take a look at 3 players who are set to go big during WPL auctions.

1. Deandra Dottin

The mighty West Indian all-rounder would be in demand among the franchises. She has been one of the most sought-after players in franchise leagues around the world. Dottin comes in with a lot of experience in international cricket and she is regarded as one of the best players in this format. There are a few franchises that would aim to exploit Deandra Dottin’s wealth of experience in international cricket. She has set her base price at INR 50 lakh and is expected to be sold for around double her base price.

2. Chamari Athapaththu

The Sri Lankan skipper has been in fabulous form recently. Chamari Athapaththu emerged as the second-highest run-scorer in the recently concluded Women’s Big Bash League and the recency factor might work for her. She has a lot of experience in international cricket but more importantly, she has been the leader of her side for quite some time which can appeal to some of the franchises. Any team would want to add players who have leadership qualities as these skills come in handy in pressure situations. Athapaththu has set her base price at INR 30 Lakh but would be expecting to go for much more than that.

3. Sophie Day

Another name who has had a very impressive WBBL season and she is a new face in the scene. We are talking about the Australian slow left-arm orthodox Sophie Day who ended up being the highest wicket-taker in the WBBL 2023 playing for Melbourne Stars. A quality spinner would be a great addition for any side and the young Australian left-arm spinner can hope to leave her mark on WPL as well just like she did in WBBL.
