New Zealand pacer Bree Illing and three uncapped Indian players have been added to the Women's Premier League 2027 auction list, raising the total to 150 candidates.
Four additional cricketers have been included in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction roster, which will be conducted in Kochi on October 28. The expanded list now features New Zealand left-arm medium-pace bowler Bree Illing and three Indian uncapped players: Delhi legspinners Medhavi Bidhuri and Samaira Raghav, and Uttar Pradesh left-arm medium-pace bowler Avanya Jain. Raghav is also noted for her lower-order batting ability.

UP Warriorz hold the largest remaining purse at INR 3.75 crore and have eight roster spots to fill, including three for overseas players. Mumbai Indians have the smallest available purse, INR 90 lakh, with six slots open for Indian talent. Gujarat Giants possess INR 1.25 crore for three positions, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals each have around INR 1.15 crore and INR 1.10 crore respectively, with five slots to fill. Delhi Capitals, runners-up in all four previous editions, retain INR 1.1 crore for five spots, including one overseas slot.
