Delhi Capitals have decided to retain five players from their 2025 squad ahead of the WPL 2026 mega auction, which is set to take place later this month. But surprisingly the list of five players doesn’t include legendary Australian cricketer Meg Lanning. Lanning served as DC captain in the WPL from 2023 to 2025 and led them to three back-to-back finals. But despite that, she has not been retained by the Delhi-based franchise.

They have instead opted to retain Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland and uncapped India batter Niki Prasad.

Niki, who joined DC ahead of the WPL 2025 season, was the captain of the India U19 team that won the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year.
