The WPL 2027 auction continues to provide an opportunity for players to make a comeback. Both UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians were able to sign new faces at very reasonable prices. While some franchises have looked to bring in star names from overseas, it shows just how important it is to have depth in the squad. Teams are seeing the value in signing experienced local talent.

UP Warriorz added wicketkeeper Sushma Verma for a bargain price of ₹30 lakh. The Indian will get another chance to shine in the league. Mumbai Indians also added to their squad by signing Disha Kasat from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for ₹10 lakh.

Sushma Verma gets another WPL opportunity with UP Warriorz

UP Warriorz continue to show an active approach ahead of the auction by signing Sushma Verma for 30 lakh. Even though she hasn't played for India recently, the experience offered by the wicket-keeper could give the team another option in the middle.

The veteran has not played for India in T20Is since around a decade back. She had been with Gujarat Giants in 2023, so this represents a chance for the player to get back into the WPL set-up.

This addition gives the Warriors another local option as part of their squad. Verma will be hoping to make the most of this opportunity to push her way back into franchise cricket.

Disha Kasat signs with Mumbai Indians for 10 lakh

Mumbai Indians have signed former Royal Challengers Bengaluru player Disha Kasat for 10 lakh. This relatively low cost gives them another local option to add to their squad.

As she has previously been with RCB, she will have experience of playing in the league. This gives her a new opportunity to fight for a spot in the starting XI and play for one of the most competitive teams in the tournament.

With few spots available it can be important to sign players like this to help fill out your squad. It will be up to the players to make the most of their opportunities in the auction to contribute in the new season.
