This March, Women’s cricket fans will get the chance to witness the biggest women’s T20 event, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will launch the Women’s Premier League (WPL). Recently, BCCI unveiled the five franchises that will contest with one another in the inaugural edition. After the last month’s development, it’s time for the franchises to build their teams at the Player Auction on February 12, 2023, in Mumbai.

At the massive event in the financial capital of India, there will be an opportunity for the franchises to pick some quality players easily. On the list of 409 cricketers who have registered for the auction, there are a few renowned names who’ve kept their base amount low. Going through the reputation and base prices of these players, it can be said that the franchises will not hesitate to grab them to make their respective sides potent.

Here are five players whose base prices will be low at the Player Auction 2023

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/laura-wolvaardt-wins-sport-personality-of-the-year-at-sport-industry-award/" title="Laura Wolvaardt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Wolvaardt</a> is a crucial player in the South Africa Women’s squad as she has efficiently played the opening batter’s role. So far, in more than 120 international appearances, she has scored more than 4,000 runs for her team. Last year, the veteran scored 188 runs with a half-century in nine WT20I games at a strike rate of 107.42.

Talking about her overall WT20I record, she has notched 849 runs with four half-centuries in 47 WT20Is, at a strike rate of 109.83. At the Player Auction in Mumbai, she will go under the hammer at a price of INR 30 lakh only. Considering her remarkable experience and current form, the franchises might go after her.

Wolvaardt has also played a lot of cricket in the Women’s Big Bash League. In the initial two seasons, she was part of the Brisbane Heat, but since 2020, the fierce right-hander is a part of the Adelaide Strikers. Till now, she has piled up 1,230 runs in 67 matches at a strike rate of 108.65.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/twitter-reactions-beth-mooney-stars-as-dominant-australia-swat-aside-india-in-series-opener/" title="Beth Mooney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beth Mooney</a> is one of the finest players in the current Australian team due to her brilliant batting and wicket-keeping potential. As a batter, she has served her national side exceptionally with her aggressive batting approach. The 29-year-old has scored 2,144 runs with two tons in 77 WT20Is at a decent strike rate of 125.30.&nbsp;

This year, she looked impeccable with her bat in the home series against Pakistan Women. In the WODI competition, she became the leading run-scorer for the team with 191 runs in three matches at a spectacular strike rate of 116.46. Mooney continued her form against the Women in Green in WT20Is as well. The stylish southpaw amassed 46 runs in an inning of two games at a strike rate of 158.62 and contributed to the team winning the series.&nbsp;

In this WIPL auction, eyes will be set on her as she can attract a huge amount due to her superb form. Her base price of INR 40 lakh, which could be considered very less after noting her experience, will also bring joy to the franchises.

In her almost one and a half years of journey in the shortest form of the sport, the swashbuckling Aussie all-rounder has performed extremely well for her team. Last year, she played an important role in Australia’s Gold Medal victory in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The talented Aussie cricketer also became the Women's T20I cricketer of the year 2022.

Talking about her entire WT20I career, she has hit 549 runs as a top-order batter in 21 games at a strike rate of 140.76. With the ball too, she has claimed 13 wickets at an economy of 7.33, with the best figures of 3.13. Noticing her phenomenal all-round potential and her base price of INR 40 lakh, the franchises would be eager to invest in her.&nbsp;

The 27-year-old Aussie also has a glorifying record in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). In 114 games of the Australian domestic league, McGrath has racked up 1,823 runs and 70 wickets for Adelaide Strikers since 2015.

The veteran made her debut back in 2007 but is a regular member of the side since 2009. This month, she will look to do well in the WIPL auction 2023 and participate in the mega competition to be held next month.

Her base price at the event will be INR 40 lakhs, which could prove a decent deal for the franchises. The 34-year-old medium pacer has picked 115 wickets in 107 matches at an economy of 5.76. In the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), Ismail plays for Melbourne Renegades and has taken 14 wickets in 15 matches at an economy of 6.57.

Currently, New Zealand Women’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-hundred-womens-2022-match-1-review-lauren-winfield-hill-suzie-bates-shine-as-oval-invincibles-start-with-a-bang/" title="Suzie Bates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Suzie Bates</a> is the leading run-scorer in the WT20Is. The veteran has accumulated 3,683 runs with a century in 139 matches at a strike rate of 109.32. Despite being the player with the most runs in the shortest form of the sport, she registered her name for the WIPL 2023 auction at the basic price of INR 30 lakh.

However, Bates’s low base amount could become a chance for the franchise owners to make their day as she could be a perfect addition to any team. As an ideal all-rounder, she can deliver to her franchise with the ball as well.&nbsp;

The 35-year-old has participated in seven editions of the WBBL, of which she has compiled 2,056 runs in 86 matches at a strike rate of 104.37. In the 2017-18 season of the competition, she also smashed her maiden and only ton against Hobart Hurricanes Women.
