WPL 2025: Delighted And Honoured To Be Named Captain Of UP Warriorz, Says Deepti Sharma

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: After being named as captain of the UP Warriorz for the 2025 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), India’s ace all-rounder Deepti Sharma said she felt delighted and honoured to be given the franchise’s leadership role.

UP Warriorz were captained by Australia skipper Alyssa Healy in the first two editions of the WPL, where they made the playoffs in the first season in 2023. After making a group-stage exit last year, UP Warriorz will be looking to go one better this year under Deepti’s leadership, especially with Alyssa ruled out due to a recurring foot injury.

“I am delighted and honoured to be named captain of the UP Warriorz, which is a team from my home state. The UP Warriorz has a fantastic squad, and we are confident that we will entertain our fans with the Warriorz brand of cricket, at the WPL this season as well. We can’t wait to play in Lucknow in front of our home fans, and hope to inspire the next generation of women athletes,” said Deepti in a statement issued by the franchise on Sunday.
