Top 5 players who might go unsold in WPL Auction 2027

Pranav Ranjith of CricTracker identifies five cricketers at risk of going unsold in the WPL 2027 auction scheduled for October 28, 2026, in Kochi. With 146 registered players competing for only 27 vacant squad spots—including 20 for Indian players and seven for overseas players—the article highlights G. Kamalini, Asha Sobhana, Annerie Dercksen, Orla Prendergast, and Shweta Sehrawat as vulnerable candidates due to limited slots, squad balance, and tournament availability conflicts.

The writer notes that Mumbai Indians releasee Kamalini faces availability issues due to the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup, while 35-year-old Sobhana may be overlooked for younger spinners. Dercksen and Prendergast contend with an intense shortage of overseas positions, and former UP Warriorz batter Sehrawat faces stiff domestic competition despite carrying an affordable base price of ₹10 lakh.
