Both players have appeared in the tournament before.

Richa has played for London Spirit and Birmingham Phoenix, while Deepti has played for London Spirit as well.

Yastika Bhatia, Pooja Vastrakar, Kashvee Gautam, Shikha Pandey, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, and Sajeevan Sajana are the other Indians in the auction.

Indian stars Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues are already confirmed to take part in the tournament, having been pre-signed ahead of the auction.

Mandhana will appear for Manchester Super Giants, while Rodrigues has been signed by Southern Brave (which is owned by GMR Group, the owners of her WPL franchise Delhi Capitals).

The auction will take place on March 11 and 12.

The 2026 edition of the tournament will be the first since the arrival of Indian investment into the competition. Four teams — MI London, Sunrisers Leeds, Southern Brave, and Manchester Super Giants — have owners that also own IPL teams.

Amidst discussions about whether franchises will select Pakistani players in both the men’s and women’s competitions, four Pakistani crickets — Muneeba Ali, Diana Baig, Sadia Iqbal, and Fatima Sana — are in the women’s auction.
