MUMBAI: Chamari Athapaththu, Deandra Dottin and Kim Garth are likely to be the hot picks in the second Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction on Saturday which is being held, inexplicably, at the same time as the second T20I between India and England at the Wankhede Stadium.
A total of 165 players from five franchises — Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz, Gujarat Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore — will go under the hammer, with a maximum of 30 slots (nine for overseas players) up for grabs. The breakup comprises 104 Indian and 61 overseas players.
