Shweta Sehrawat Retained by UP Warriorz

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) team UP Warriorz has made a strategic move by retaining uncapped player Shweta Sehrawat ahead of the 2026 mega auction. This decision was announced on November 6, 2025, and reflects the franchise’s commitment to future success.

Major Player Releases

In a surprising turn of events, the team has announced the release of several prominent players, including India star Deepti Sharma. Sharma, who was instrumental in leading the team during the last season, earned the Player of the Tournament award in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025. The franchise finished last in the season, garnering only six points from eight matches.

Other notable departures include:

• Alyssa Healy
• Sophie Ecclestone
• Tahlia McGrath
• World Cup winners Uma Chetry and Kranti Gaud

Stats of Shweta Sehrawat

Sehrawat, at only 21 years of age, has shown promise in her WPL career, scoring 261 runs in 23 matches with an average of 13.73. Her performance in the Women’s Delhi Premier League was particularly impressive, where she led her team to victory, averaging 55.00 with a strike rate of 157.14.

Looking Ahead

With a maximum purse of ₹14.5 crore, the UP Warriorz are set for a renewed approach in the upcoming auction under new head coach Abhishek Nayar. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating their next moves as they prepare for the competition ahead.
