Gujarat Giants strengthen their squad with three new signings.
Gujarat Giants completed their squad for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 season after making three purchases at the mini auction in Kochi on October 28. Led by Ashleigh Gardner, the franchise entered the auction with ₹1.25 crore remaining and three slots to fill, including one overseas position.
The team added an Indian wicketkeeper-batter, an international all-rounder and an uncapped Indian prospect to complete its 18-player squad. Gujarat Giants focused on targeted additions rather than making extensive changes to their squad.
