WPL 2026: Confident That Mega Auction Will Help UP Warriorz To Restructure Squad, Says Coach Nayar
U19 World Cup: After retaining only uncapped batter and former U19 World Cup winner Shweta Sehrawat ahead of WPL 2026, UP Warriorz (UPW) head coach Abhishek Nayar said that the franchise is focused on making a fresh start and the mega auction, to be held in New Delhi on November 27, gives them the chance to do that.
UPW, one of the founding teams in the WPL, have struggled for consistency in results. After entering the playoffs in the inaugural season in 2023, they failed to qualify for the playoffs and even ended as wooden spooners in the 2025 season.
In a bid to reshape their trajectory, the franchise appointed Nayar as the head coach and barring retaining Shweta for Rs 50 lakh, they have made big calls to let go of the likes of India's premier allrounder Deepti Sharma, who became the Player of the Tournament in the 2025 ODI World Cup triumph, Alyssa Healy, Sophie Ecclestone, Alana King, Tahlia McGrath and Kranti Gaud.
