UP Warriorz made their biggest buy in the form of Indian star all-rounder Deepti Sharma for Rs. 2.6 crore. Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Deepti Sharma was recorded as the second most expensive player bought in the WPL 2023 auction after RCBs captain Smriti Mandhana. Their next big buy remained the number one T20I bowler, Sophie Ecclestone, for 1.8 crore, who represents England's national team originally. However, Australia's opening batter, Alyssa Healy, signed for Rs 70 lakhs only, was preferred to lead the side in the upcoming event. Tahlia Mcgrath and South African pacer Shabnim Ismail were the other two overseas inclusions into the 16-member squad of UP Warriorz to add experience to the team. WPL 2023: Jay Shah Unveils Mascot ‘Shakti’ Ahead of Women’s Premier League Inaugural Season (Watch Video).
