Alyssa Healy’s shocking unsold status sparks outrage
Australia captain Alyssa Healeythe opening name of the marquee with a base price of ₹50 lakh, stunned the cricket world by going unsold in the first round, leaving fans on social media in disbelief. The former UP Warriorz leader Healy’s absence from the 2025 season due to a foot injury, coupled with recent calf problems during the Women’s World Cup, appeared to deter franchises amid fitness uncertainties.
Despite her impressive WPL record of 428 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 130.49 and her leadership as a six-time World Cup winner, no bids were forthcoming, prompting widespread backlash calling it a ‘massive mistake’ and speculation about her accelerated auction return.

UP Warriorz releases Deepti Sharma’s RTM return
In stark contrast, UP Warriorz decisively exercised their first RTM card to regain Indian all-rounder Deepti for a staggering ₹3.2 crore after Capitals of Delhi took its bidding from its base of ₹50 lakh to that peak. Fresh from 215 runs and 22 wickets internationally, the World Cup 2025 Player of the Tournament marks the second-highest ever WPL auction price, underscoring her value as a local hero from Uttar Pradesh entering her fourth season with the franchise. This move strengthens UPW’s squad and the retained squad Shweta Sehrawatindicating an aggressive rebuild with three RTMs left and plenty of wallet left
Healy’s critique highlights the risk-averse strategies of franchises that favor form and fitness, while Deepti’s windfall reflects the premium placed on versatile Indian performers amid WPL’s increasing competitiveness. As the auction progresses, eyes remain on whether Healy finds a suitor and how these early shocks reshape the title contenders.
