The much-awaited Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 auction laid the groundwork for what promises to be an electrifying season of T20 cricket starting March 4. The five WPL teams bought a total of 87 players, including 57 Indians and 30 overseas players, after spending a sum total of INR 59.50 crore on Monday.
