Sophia Dunkley and Sophie Molineau have the highest base prices

England's Sophia Dunkley and Australia's Sophie Molineau are among the players with the highest base prices in the WPL 2027 auction.

At the same time, along with Indian players G Kamalini and Kiran Navgire, Australia's Heather Graham and Jess Jonason have registered their names at the base price of Rs 40 lakh.

30 players kept the base price of Rs 30 lakh

In this auction, 30 players have kept their base price at Rs 30 lakh. In such a situation, the franchise will have the opportunity to choose players according to different budgets and needs of the team.

However, registering names in the auction does not mean that every player will get a team. Due to only 27 slots being vacant against 146 players, many players may feel disappointed. Teams will have to take decisions keeping in mind their budget, available space and needs.
