Gayakwad to UPW! I love this team even more. One of my favourite spinners to watch and she'll be bowling alongside Ecclestone and Ismail. Fantastic.

 

[cnerd123]

by paid you mean picked up at base price right?

I expect a bidding war on her tbh, assuming franchises have the cash left by then!

 

[Shri]

Nah, I know someone close to her

She’ll be pissed

are you leaning into the meme or are you serious

 

[Socerer 01]

They’re one of the richest couples in world sports

Money is the least of their issues

at worst she’d be earning more than her Hundred contract playing a similar amount of matches

i assume she would want the new challenge too and make herself a bigger name with a new crowd but can’t blame her if she does drop out

 

[Shri]

dc will be my team. was going to support whoever shafali sehwag plays for

 

[cnerd123]

Of course everyone signed here will play. It's incredible money for 3-4 weeks of work and, let's not forget, they're cricketers because they love to play. Plus doing it in a historic tournament like this, in front of Indian fans, and establishing a reputation that could lead to more lucrative contracts and sponsorships in the future, let's not kid ourselves

Serious

She won’t be thrilled & particularly with getting less than Perry

She will probably earn much more following her husband around the Ashes as part of the Foxtel commentary team while setting herself up for a career beyond retirement

as if she wouldn't want to be independent and make it on her own on merit

Anyways back to reality and Delhi have finally woken up and joined the bidding. They seem to be building a nice little pace battery with Pandey, Kapp and Sadhu

UPW with another smart signing in the U19 WC leading runscorer Shweta Sehrawat

 

[Socerer 01]

how have these ****s still not finished the auction and filling up their teams

 

[cnerd123]

Mahika Gaur got a bid, but GG had too many overseas players hahahaha

Laura Norris got signed, first associate player picked up. Understandably so. Order a bit random now, rapid fire stuff. Waiting for Kary Chan to pop up.

I wonder who decided that the WPL teams should have one associate. It's an unusually progressive move.

 

[cnerd123]

UP Warriorz the first to finish their squad! 15 players with just 10lakh left, they'll need to pick up an associate at base price and it won't be Kary or Chantham

 

[Socerer 01]

don’t think Delhi picked a keeper yet

 

[cnerd123]

Are players from Associate nations likely to find buyers?
It is not mandatory for teams to pick an Associate player but there's an incentive for picking one. Teams can field four overseas players in their XIs, as is the case in the IPL, but they have the option of including a fifth overseas player provided she is from an Associate nation.

Diu. Don't know where I heard that Associates were guaranteed a spot in a team. Fake news.

 

[Shri]

Laura Norris

tara norris bc

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Overseas player not have much knowledge of indian track so no need to selects them or pay them more than enough, they can not Performs same as outside of india

bet those overseas players are much better than plenty of locals picked up at base price
