Gujarat seem to have a core coaching group in place as they have roped in two of the biggest stalwarts to have played the game in the women's circuit. Former India skipper and legend Mithali Raj will be seen mentoring the players, while Australia's legendary batter Rachael Haynes will be the head coach of the team.
The WPL auction will have a female auctioneer in Malika Advani who has been given the responsibility to conduct the auction. As per several reports Malika is a Mumbai-based art collector consultant for Modern and Contemporary Indian art and partner in Art India Consultants firm, and she will be seen with the hammer on the day of the auction.
There will be some big names who will go under the hammer and all the five franchises will look to stack up their side with some proven performers and some excellent emerging players.
