The WPL has gained a status of immense glory ever since the BCCI unit managing women’s cricket announced the formation of an IPL-like franchise-level cricket league for women cricketers. This tournament is known to draw the attention of national and international women cricketers, just like the WBBL in Australia. 
 
The domestic Indian cricketers get their opportunity to play alongside international greats from other nations and prove their calibre in the game. 
 
Franchises like Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Giants, Delhi Capitals, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Challengers_Bangalore_(WPL)">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a>, and UP Warriorz have released only a few of their players, while only 19 slots remain for all these sides to acquire the likes of new players. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">Let’s take a look at the 5 players who can be the biggest picks in the upcoming auction:</h2>
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_67551d39d835a.jpg" alt="" width="759" height="472">
<ol start="5">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Sneh Rana</h3>
</li>
</ol>
 
The Indian spinner has been released by his old franchise, the Gujarat Giants, though he even captained them in the absence of Beth Mooney. The off-spinner has been a great option in the format for the national side as well. 
 
Sneh Rana might be the one who will solve the need for any team's spin option, as the Indian player is one of the best options for the same. 
 
<ol start="4">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Amanda Jade-Wellington</h3>
</li>
</ol>
 
The Australian all-rounder always holds a special place in the franchises, as the all-rounder is known for her aggressive batting intent in the lower order and also quality spin bowling antics. 
 
Wellington will be an asset to the franchises, as they need someone who can play a vital hand in chases and finishing roles down the order. 
 
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Heather Knight </h3>
</li>
</ol>
 
The England skipper would undoubtedly be one of the most experienced cricketers in the mini-auction, as the player has appeared in over 250 international matches. 
 
England skipper, who previously played for RCB, has been released ahead of the auctions, as the all-rounder with great form with the bat and a cool bowling role will be crucial for any team looking to strengthen their middle order. 
 
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Nadine de Klerk</h3>
</li>
</ol>
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_67551d42a58d2.jpg" alt="" width="759" height="472">
Nadine de Klerk, a rising talented all-rounder for the Proteas, has been recently gaining the upper hand across global competitions like the WBBL and Hundred Women. 
 
Indian WPL franchises in search of a quick-bowling all-rounder can look to rope in the Protea lower-order player into the side. 
 
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Deandra Dottin </h3>
</li>
</ol>
 
Whenever it comes to women’s cricket in the shortest format, Dottin has been the most legendary name associated with the format. The player, though old now, is yet known for his extensive ability to hit the long leavers and has the most sixes in international cricket. 
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_67551d4af2bd4.jpg" alt="" width="694" height="432">
Often compared with male contemporary Chris Gayle, Dottin is undoubtedly one of the finest in the role, as teams like UP Warriorz would be in the hunt for such a player in the role.
