WPL 2027 auction: From Chamari Athapaththu to Uma Chetry, five big names left unsold

During the recent Women's Premier League mini-auction held in Kochi, several prominent players went without a buyer due to strict squad limits and tight team budgets. Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu, England batter Sophia Dunkley, and Indian left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque all failed to attract bids despite their prior tournament experience.

Additional domestic names also missed out on securing contracts for the upcoming competition. Wicketkeeper-batter Uma Chetry and fast bowler Titas Sadhu were both left unsold by the five participating franchises during the bidding process.
