The TATA Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 auction commenced in Mumbai on December 9, marking the beginning of an intense bidding war among the five franchises. With 165 players up for grabs, including 104 Indian players and 61 overseas talents, the event promises exciting prospects for the participating teams.
Delhi Capitals bag Annabel Sutherland
Australia’s dynamic all-rounder, Annabel Sutherland, emerged as a star attraction at the WPL 2024 auction. The bidding war for Sutherland unfolded as franchises vied for her services. In the end, Delhi Capitals secured the coveted player, sealing the deal with a substantial bid of INR 2 crore.
Sutherland’s all-round prowess
Known for her aggressive style and all-round abilities, Sutherland’s acquisition by Delhi Capitals signifies their strategic move to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. Despite a challenging season with Gujarat Giants in 2023, where she scored 28 runs from 4 games and took 3 wickets, Sutherland’s international track record and potential make her a top-quality addition.
