As many as 87 cricketers will be part of history in the first-ever season of Women’s Premier League beginning in Mumbai on Saturday. Each of the five teams were allowed a maximum of 18 players during the auction held in Mumbai last month.

While Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants exhausted their player-limit quota by buying 18 players each, Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz picked 17 and 16 players respectively.
The five-team tournament will last for 23 days comprising 20 league matches and a couple of playoff contests. Although not in a typical home-away format, each team will play the remaining four teams twice in the league stage. While the topmost team will directly qualify for the final match, the second and third-ranked teams will play a virtual semi-final in the form of an Eliminator.
As far as the captains are concerned, two Indian and three Australian cricketers will be leading WPL 2023 team players list. India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, costliest player in the auction, is one of the five captains. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Australia captain Meg Lanning, Australia wicket-keeper batter Alyssa Healy and Australia opening batter Beth Mooney are the remaining skippers.
