WPL 2026 mega auction: List of all players bought by UP Warriorz

UP Warriorz bought 17 players at WPL 2026 mega auction.

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 auction was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday, November 27 in Delhi. A total of 277 players went under the hammer in the mega event for 73 available slots across all five franchises. However, only 67 players were picked including 23 overseas players.

UP Warriorz bought a total of 17 players at WPL 2026 mega auction. Their costliest player was Deepti Sharma, who they acquired for INR 3.20 crores using Right to Match (RTM) card. Shikha Pandey, Meg Lanning, and Phoebe Litchfield were some other top names bought by the franchise. Deepti was also the most costliest player of the auction.

They had the maximum salary cap available at INR 14.50 crores. Since they retained only one player ahead of the auction, they had 17 vacant slots. Out of these, there were six slots for foreign players.

The Warriorz finished at the last spot in the points table last season and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Following a poor show in the tournament, they retained just one player in their squad and parted ways with all others with an aim to form a fresh team ahead of the next season.

Shweta Sehrawat was retained by the side for Rs. 50 lakhs. Since the Warriorz retained only one player, they had four RTM cards available for WPL 2026 mega auction, the most than any other team.
