CHANDIGARH: She did not feature in the WPL second edition.
But the 33-year-old Barbados player, the oldest in Sunday's mini-auction held in Bengaluru, made a smashing return with GG again acquiring her services, this time for ₹1.7 crore. With a base price of ₹50 lakh, the Windies all-rounder was the first player to be sold, after a bidding battle between UP Warriorz (UPW) and GG.
Mumbai all-rounder Simran Sheikh though was the most expensive player of the auction, GG securing her for ₹1.9 crore, against her base price of ₹10 lakh. The 22-year-old made her WPL debut for UPW in the inaugural edition in 2023. She went unsold in the last auction, but was back in demand after aggregating 176 runs in 11 games in the Senior Women's T20, with a top score of 47.
