Dottin headlines big names for WPL 2025 auction
BENGALURU, India, (CMC) — West Indies’ dynamic all-rounder Deandra Dottin is among one of the biggest names who will contest the 2025 Women’s Premier League auction slated to be held here on December 15.
The 33-year-old power hitter is one of 120 players vying to fill 19 spots for the third season of the WPL, which runs from February 21 to March 15, 2025. Of the 19, five are reserved for overseas players.
Dottin along with England’s Heather Knight, who was released by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, have listed their reserve price at the highest slab of INR 50 lakh, approximately US$60,000.
Other prominent names include Lizelle Lee, Sneh Rana (released by Gujarat Giants), Poonam Yadav (released by Delhi Capitals), Shubha Satheesh (released by RCB), along with Tejal Hasabnis and Mansi Joshi.
Dottin was part of the successful Melbourne Renegades outfit that recently captured their first-ever Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) title.
She came out of retirement earlier this year and helped the West Indies Women reach the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup. Dottin was subsequently named in the World Cup XI after hitting the most sixes in the tournament.
