Inauguration Hundred of Women Auction It took place at Piccadilly Lights, London on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 for the 2026 season. This marked a historic shift from the previous draft system to an IPL-style auction model, driven by new private investment and many franchises being rebranded to reflect their IPL-affiliated owners.
Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney lead a record-breaking day
The biggest story of the auction was the attention of two major stars. With private equity being injected into the league and franchises, the women’s team’s salaries doubled to £880,000 each. This led to intense bidding wars that pushed top player prices to unprecedented levels. The final award of the day was shared by two stalwarts of the international game – Sophie Devine (£210,000) and beth mooney (£210,000).
The New Zealand powerhouse’s explosive batting and clever medium pace make him a complete package. The addition of Devine gives the Welsh Fire an incredible X-factor and captaincy option, which jointly justifies his status as the most expensive signing. Similarly, Mooney, one of the most consistent run-scorers in T20 cricket, provides stability and firepower at the top of the order. The Australian wicketkeeper-batsman’s move to Nottingham is a big statement from the Rockets.
Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh are in the news for new signings
While blockbuster stars like Smriti Mandhana (Manchester Super Giants) and amelia kerr (MI London) had already been retained by their teams, with the auction being the only way out for many other top-tier international players.

These signings will continue to deepen the relationship between English and Indian domestic cricket.
