Follow UsDelhi Capitals (DC) Women entered the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 mini-auction with their eyes set on particular players who would fill the few gaps in their squad.
Safe to say, there weren’t a lot of empty spaces to fill as the team was already very well balanced and had reached the final of both the tournament editions. With Meg Lanning leading them, and the squad's core being the same, their focussed strategy worked wonders in the auction.
As a result, they bought a solid Indian wicketkeeper batter in Nandini Kashyap and an internationally experienced associate player, Sarah Bryce, for the same role. Bryce will allow them to play an extra overseas batter in the top three.
Niki Prasad, who’s captained India U19 side in the Women’s Asia Cup and now the U19 Women's T20 World Cup, is also on the squad and can contribute much with the bat in the middle order. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh’s left-arm spinning allrounder N Charani also adds to the spin reserves.
DC are looking solid before yet another WPL season, and if they perform like the last two seasons, we can safely expect them to make the knockouts with ease. The 2025 season begins on February 14 and will be played in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Vadodara, and Lucknow.
