A significant update about women's cricket. Thanks to Delhi Cricket. With a huge craze, the bidding war for the upcoming Women's DPL season 2. After a successful first season, the hype and expectations around the tournament this time seem to be on a higher note. 

Central Delhi Queens, North Delhi Strikers, East Delhi Riders, and South Delhi Superstarz bought the checkbooks to restore their squads. Every team tried their best to maintain a mixture of emerging and experienced talents through the auction table. Tanisha Singh (INR 13 lakh), Nazma (INR 12.5 lakh), Monika (INR 10 lakh), and Purva Siwach (INR 9.75 lakh) were the top picks on the auction day.

Marking this special occasion, DDCA President Rohan Jaitley said, "It’s a proud moment for us. The DPL has been one of the few leagues to include a women’s edition from the start. This season, we’ve expanded participation and strengthened the domestic structure. Over 600 girls took part in our recent club-level tournament—a big step for women’s cricket in Delhi. With growing interest and talent, we aim to add more teams, more players, and more matches in the coming seasons."
