WPL 2024: 5 Steal deals in the mini auction
In the auction, some franchises signed up quality players at reasonable prices.
1. Georgia Wareham
RCB added Australia’s spin-bowling stalwart Georgia Wareham to their squad in the auction. The Victoria-born bowler was sold for INR 40 lakh at the event. In the maiden WPL edition, she played two matches for GG and took one wicket at an economy of 10.73. Her ineffective performance denied her a spot in Gujarat’s retention list.
In the upcoming competition, she will endeavour to add value to the team with her exceptional spin-bowling talent. The 24-year-old exuded confidence with both bat and ball in the 2023-24 WBBL. As an all-rounder, she notched up 295 runs for Melbourne Renegades, with a fifty in 12 innings at a strike rate of 134.09.
With the ball, she grabbed 14 wickets in the competition, at a thrifty economy of 7.38. Challengers will keep their expectations high from the Aussie player for 2024. RCB already have off-spinners Heather Knight and Kanika Ahuja in the squad. The addition of the leg-break bowler Georgia will add a variation to the spin-bowling unit.
