Australia T20I: The player retention list for the 2026 edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is set to be released on Thursday, shortly after the conclusion of the fourth T20I between India and Australia in Gold Coast, Queensland.

IANS understands that all five franchises have submitted their final retained players’ list on the deadline day slated for Wednesday, with several high-profile names expected to feature in the retained pool and many of them going into the mega auction, to be held in New Delhi on November 27. “Once the men’s T20I game is over, the WPL retentions will be known officially,” said a source aware of the development.

Each franchise will be allowed to retain a maximum of three capped Indian players, two overseas players, and two uncapped Indian players. If a team chooses to retain five players, at least one must be an uncapped Indian player. The auction purse has been set at INR 15 crore.
