The Capri Sports-owned UP Warriorz, who were looking to rebuild their squad at the WPL Auction in New Delhi, pulled off quite the coup as they signed on the talismanic former Australian captain Meg Lanning, who had featured in all the previous finals of the WPL with Delhi Capitals (DC) as a captain. Alongside her, the UP Warriorz, who are now coached by Nayar, also added to their squad the likes of the dynamic Phoebe Litchfield, WPL Season 2's MVP and ICC ODI World Cup 2025 winner Deepti Sharma, and England's Sophie Ecclestone, one of the most proficient spinners in the game. Among the others from India's World Cup-winning squad who have been picked by the Warriorz, are Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol and Kranti Goud.
