New Delhi: The five Women’s Premier League (WPL) franchises are set for a revamp. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to hold a mega auction in November ahead of the 2026 season.
All the franchises are awaiting confirmation from the WPL on the number of retentions, the auction purse, the retention slabs and how many right-to-match (RTM) card options would be available during the auction.
These decisions will be finalised by the WPL committee, but there is no confirmation of the meeting. The dates for the 2026 season are yet to be announced; however, the BCCI had indicated earlier that the tournament would be held in the January-February window.
The five-team tournament was launched in 2023 with the Mumbai Indians emerg
