Women premier league

Royal Challengers Bangalore: The Women’s Premier League (WPL) player auction, ahead of the 2024 season, will be held on December 9 in Mumbai, said the tournament through its social media accounts on Friday.

The second season of the WPL is expected to take place in the February-March window in 2024. But the BCCI has not officially announced the dates of WPL season two, nor given any clarity on the tournament venues – either to be held in one city, like Mumbai hosted the entire inaugural season in three stadiums, or in several venues via the traditional home-and-away format.

On October 19, a total of sixty players, including 21 international cricketers, were retained by the five teams – Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Giants, UP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore, while 29 cricketers were released into the auction pool, where 30 player slots will be filled.
