The highest bracket includes players such as Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Ellyse Perry, Meg Lanning, Sophie Devine, and others. Here is a list of five players who are expected to make big bucks at WPL Auctions 2023:
1. Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana, India’s star opener, is one of the game’s biggest stars, and with her talent and track record, she could be the player who sells for the most money this year. She is one of the best in her field, having scored 2651 runs in 112 T20Is. She can not only anchor the inning but also destroy bowlers with her power-hitting. Her talent and contribution are incomparable, and she may have a memorable day at auctions today.
2. Deepti Sharma
Deepti Sharma, one of the best bowlers and all-rounders in T20 cricket right now, is ready to force franchises into a bidding war. She has been a major contributor to India’s recent victories. She has good spin and can contribute with the bat when her team is in trouble. Her ability to bowl maiden overs will be a key factor in her selection.
3. Ashleigh Gardner
She is currently the number one all-rounder in T20Is, having been one of the best with the ball as well as a power-hitter with the bat. Gardner also took five wickets against New Zealand as Australia won their first T20 World Cup match. In her T20I career, she has scored 1069 runs in 52 innings and taken 48 wickets in 56 innings.
4. Harmanpreet Kaur
Harmanpreet Kaur, the list’s most experienced T20I player, is currently one of the most potent middle-order batters. She has 2956 runs scored in 132 innings, including a century. The Indian captain is captaining one of the best teams on the circuit, and franchises will need a leader like her to get their team to the championship. Her ability to bat big innings quickly and bowl a few overs are the X-factors she brings.
5. Amelia Kerr
New Zealand’s young all-rounder has recently been a pillar of their success. As a leg-break bowler, she has been in high demand and has performed well in T20 leagues around the world. Kerr has 565 runs in 38 innings and 55 wickets in 55 T20I innings, and she has been outstanding for Wellington in the domestic T20 league. Among the young players, she is expected to make a big impact.
