Defending Champions Barbados Royals Sign RCB Youngster, Another Delhi Capitals Star Picked After WBBL Setback in WCPL 2025 Draft
After three successful editions of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL), the tournament is set for the fourth edition. The CPL 2025 will kick off on September 6, 2025, and the Final will be played on September 17, 2025. The league will be played with three teams battling it out for supremacy. The three teams would be Guyana Amazon Warriors Women, Trinbago Knight Riders Women, and the Barbados Royals Women. The first edition was clinched by the Knight Riders, post which it has been a one-team show. The Royals have lifted the title for the last two years. They will enter the league this time to complete their hat-trick.
The WCPL Draft included some blockbuster signings. Indian youngster Shreyanka Patil has been picked by the defending champions, Barbados Royals. She played the Final for the Amazon Warriors in 2023 and will look to repeat that. Another notable pick for the Royals came in the form of Sri Lankan great Chamari Athapaththu.
Moreover, Indian speedster Shikha Pandey is back with the Knight Riders. This comes after she had a splendid season the last time around. The pacer wasn’t able to make a mark in the last edition of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). To couple that, the Knights have signed Lizelle Lee. She will add some explosive power at the top of the batting order. Moreover, the Knights have also decided to go with Salonee Dangore, who is an exciting prospect from India.
