The women’s cricket season in England will overlap with the WPL auction, a major event for women’s cricket. This year, players are more relaxed than in the previous year as they have already undergone the experience. Captain Amy Jones stated that this year, the players’ focus will be on the game. There are 30 slots, with nine open for overseas players. Last time, Danni Wyatt failed to get a bid in the auction, prompting her teammates to look after her. India captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, mentioned that the players have been picked, so the auction does not hold much relevance for them. England opener Emma Lamb’s injury has ruled her out of the Test series, with Maia Bouchier named as her replacement. Left-arm spinner Kirstie Gordon has also been added to the squad.
