Four more players were added to the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction list, set to be held in Kochi on Wednesday (October 28). New Zealand left-arm medium pacer Bree Illing and three Indian uncapped players are the latest additions to the original 146-player shortlist, taking the count to an even 150.

Illing adds an overseas pace option to the pool, while the Indian contingent comprises Delhi legspinners Medhavi Bidhuri and Samaira Raghav, and Uttar Pradesh left-arm medium pacer Avanya Jain. Raghav is also a handy lower-order batter.

The five franchises will enter the auction with differing purse sizes and squad requirements. UP Warriorz have the largest remaining purse of INR 3.75 crore, with eight slots to fill, including three overseas positions.

At the other end, Mumbai Indians have smallest available purse of INR 90 lakh with six open slots, all for Indian players.

Gujarat Giants have INR 1.25 crore left for three slots, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru have INR 1.15 crore and Delhi Capitals INR 1.10 crore, with five slots to fill each. Delhi capitals, the runners-up in all four editions thus far, have INR 1.1 crore left in the purse for five slots, including one vacancy on the overseas bench.
