The Women’s Premier League 2027 player auction is on 28 October 2026 in Kochi, and the season will run from 14 January to 7 February 2027, according to Sports Digest.

Delhi Capitals’ position

  • Retained: 13 players
  • Released: six players: Alana King, Lizelle Lee, Sneh Rana, Taniya Bhatia, Eddla Srujana and Pragati Singh
  • Purse left: Rs 1.10 crore
  • Open slots: five, of which one is for an overseas player

The speculated targets

Sports Digest listed five players Delhi might pursue. These are the writer’s suggestions, not announced targets:

  • Grace Harris (Australia), released by Royal Challengers Bengaluru
  • Deandra Dottin (West Indies), released by UP Warriorz
  • Amy Jones (England), released by UP Warriorz
  • Asha Sobhana (India), released by UP Warriorz
  • Gautami Naik (India), released by Royal Challengers Bengaluru

The article argued that each pick filled a gap in batting power, spin depth or wicketkeeping cover within Delhi’s small purse.

Retention and auction details are as reported by Sports Digest.
