Following the recent triumph of Indian women in the World Cup in Mumbai, attention now turns to the forthcoming Women's Premier League (WPL) auction. The five franchises have revealed their retained player lists in preparation for the 2026 season.

Each franchise is allowed to keep a maximum of five players, which includes up to three Indian players and two overseas players. If a franchise opts to retain five players, at least one must be an uncapped Indian cricketer (both Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians have retained five players each). The WPL 2026 player auction is scheduled for November 27 in New Delhi.
