Delhi Capitals WPL 2027 squad recruitment

Overview

During the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 mini-auction in Kochi, the Delhi Capitals finalized a 17-member squad. The franchise retained 13 players and added four new acquisitions to their roster.

Key additions included marquee batter Kiran Navgire, signed for Rs 75 lakh, alongside all-rounder Nazma Khan, spinner Kirstie Gordon, and 15-year-old Uma Kashvi, who were each secured for Rs 10 lakh. Kashvi, a right-handed batter and off-spin bowler from Karnataka, made history as the youngest player to ever secure a WPL contract, surpassing the previous record held by Diya Yadav. Kashvi enters the league following significant domestic success, including scoring 516 runs at an average of 172 in the BCCI Women's Under-15 One-Day Trophy.

Head Coach Jonathan Batty noted that the new signings, particularly Navgire, would provide essential batting firepower and squad depth. The total expenditure for the season reached Rs 14.95 crore, including Rs 13.9 crore for player retentions. The team aims to secure its first WPL title after reaching the finals in all four previous seasons.
