The double injury setback has forced DC to announce Hyderabad seamer Eddla Srujana and Punjab all-rounder Pragati Singh as replacements for the injured duo. Both players have been signed for the base price of INR 10 lakh and have already joined the squad ahead of Delhi’s sixth group stage match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Vadodara on Saturday, January 24. With only two wins from five games so far, DC is in a tough situation and needs to win all the upcoming games.
Madiwala’s WPL 2026 campaign ended before it could even begin. The wicketkeeper-batsman did not feature this season and was ruled out due to injury. Her absence will further deplete Delhi’s resources, especially after Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland withdrew ahead of the tournament citing personal reasons.
Eddla Srujana has previously served as DC’s net bowler
On the other hand, 16-year-old Deeya created history earlier this week by becoming the youngest debutant in WPL history when she played against Mumbai Indians at just 16 years and 103 days in Vadodara. Although she did not bat or bowl in that match after replacing Minnu Mani in the XI.
Meanwhile, Pragati Singh is a bowling all-rounder who has represented Punjab in the domestic circuit. She was Punjab’s second highest run-scorer in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, scoring 143 runs at a strike rate of 105.14, and also claimed eight wickets in the previous one-day domestic season.
Moreover, Eddla Srujana is a right-arm seamer from Hyderabad and has previously served as a net bowler for the franchise. She made her senior domestic debut in the 2023-2024 season and also represented Hyderabad at age group level.
