WPL 2025 Retentions: Complete List Of Players Retained And Released By All Five Franchises

The deadline for finalizing the list of retained and released players for the upcoming Women’s Premier League (WPL) season has officially passed. All five teams have now revealed their choices, with key Indian players like Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jemimah Rodrigues being retained by their respective franchises.

Just before the deadline, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge was traded from UP Warriorz to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Reigning WPL 2024 champions, RCB, have strategically kept 14 players for the next season, with Smriti Mandhana continuing as captain.

The decision to retain players such as Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry, and Sophie Devine was an easy one due to their stellar performances last season.

Meanwhile, MI has kept the core of their team intact for the upcoming season but made a surprising call by letting go of England’s Issy Wong, who had previously made headlines with a hat-trick in the inaugural season. Despite this, MI has retained 14 players for the new season.

Here is the list of players retained and released for WPL 2025:
