TATA WPL 2027 Auction: Full Player List, Base Prices and 27 Available Slots

The stage is set for the TATA Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction, with 146 players shortlisted to compete for 27 available slots when the auction takes place in Kochi, Kerala, on October 28, 2026. With a mix of established international stars, experienced Indian cricketers and emerging domestic talent, the auction presents an important opportunity for franchises to strengthen their squads ahead of the next season.

According to the official auction list released on October 19, the player pool comprises 119 Indian players and 27 overseas players. Among the Indian contingent, 22 are capped players, while 97 are uncapped. The overseas group includes 14 capped and 13 uncapped players, with six players representing Associate Nations. The available slots include 20 positions for Indian players and seven for overseas recruits.

England batter Sophia Dunkley and Australia all-rounder Sophie Molineux headline the auction list with the highest base price of ₹50 lakh each. Both bring international experience and could attract attention from franchises seeking to add quality to their batting or all-round options. India’s G. Kamalini and Kiran Navgire, along with Australia’s Heather Graham and Jess Jonassen, have registered at a base price of ₹40 lakh. Their inclusion adds further interest to the auction, particularly for teams looking to strengthen their domestic batting resources or overseas all-rounder combinations.

A total of 30 players have registered in the ₹30 lakh base-price bracket. This group features several experienced Indian and overseas cricketers, offering franchises a range of options across different specialisms. Beyond the established names, the TATA WPL 2027 auction list features a substantial pool of uncapped Indian players. With 97 uncapped Indian cricketers included, franchises have an opportunity to invest in emerging talent and identify players who could develop into valuable contributors in the league.

The overseas contingent also offers variety, with players from countries including Australia, England, South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, the Netherlands and the UAE represented in the list. The auction is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM on October 28. With only 27 slots available for 146 registered players, competition for contracts is expected to be intense. Teams will need to balance experience, emerging talent and role-specific requirements as they prepare for the TATA WPL 2027 season.

The auction will ultimately determine which players secure opportunities to showcase their abilities on one of women’s cricket’s biggest franchise platforms.
