The franchise, however, has released former Australia captain Meg Lanning, who had skippered DC to three consecutive WPL finals.
Delhi Capitals Players Retained
Jemimah Rodrigues (Rs. 2.2 crore)
Shafali Verma (Rs. 2.2 crore)
Annabel Sutherland (Rs 2.2 crore)
Marizanne Kapp (Rs 2.2 crore)
Niki Prasad (uncapped) (Rs. 50 lakh)
Purse remaining: Rs. 5.70 crore
“We’ve played some outstanding cricket over the first three seasons. This was a tight-knit group that performed as a cohesive unit, and that togetherness reflected in our results. It’s always difficult to release players after sharing such a successful journey, but that’s the nature of the WPL and the challenge that comes with it.
We’re very happy with the players we’ve retained, and our focus now will be on building the rest of the squad around this strong core. It’s going to be an exciting auction, and we’re looking forward to what lies ahead,” said Jonathan Batty, head coach of Delhi Capitals.Published on Nov 06, 2025
