Her becoming the top scorer in the Asia Cup is a testament to her dedication in domestic and international age-group competitions. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here India vs Bangladesh in the final of the ACC U-19 Women’s Asia Cup (PC: BCCI Women/X) Aayushi Shukla and Parunika Sisodia were India’s top bowlers in the campaign, with 10 and nine wickets respectively. Both slow left-arm orthodox spinners dominated the Bangladesh batting lineup in the final, sharing five wickets between them. Parunika was included in the WPL 2025 mini-auction held in Bengaluru last week but was not picked by any team. In the 2023 season, she was part of the Gujarat Giants squad but did not play.

Skipper Niki Prasad had limited opportunities to bat or bowl but excelled as a leader. Delhi Capitals signed her for ₹10 lakh, providing her a chance to learn under former Australian legend Meg Lanning. Joshita VJ, an all-rounder, was signed by the defending WPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru for ₹10 lakh. However, she only played three matches in the Asia Cup, taking two wickets and batting just once. Shabnam Shakil, retained by Gujarat Giants for the next WPL season, had impressed in the previous edition by taking four wickets in four games.

[ad_1] Gujarat Giants (GG) associates at the Mini-Auction in Bengaluru (PC: GG Insta) Gujarat Giants (GG) have been the most disappointing team in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) over the past two seasons. They have won only four matches across two editions, giving their fans very few joyful moments. All eyes were on the franchise during the mini-auction in Bengaluru, where they had four spots to fill. They spent a large amount of money on Deandra Dottin and Simran Shaikh. Beth Mooney is expected to captain the team again. However, whether they can perform better this season and give their fans more memorable moments remains to be seen. Retained squad: Ashleigh Gardner, Beth Mooney, Dayalan Hemalatha, Harleen Deol, Laura Wolvaardt, Shabnam Shakil, Tanuja Kanwar, Phoebe Litchfield, Meghna Singh, Kashvee Gautam, Priya Mishra, Mannat Kashyap, Bharti Fulmali, Sayali Satghare. Another year and the team will again rely heavily on their foreign stars. Mooney, Gardner, Wolvaardt, and Litchfield are all crucial for the team’s success. However, selecting the final four overseas players for each game will be a challenge for the management. With Mooney likely to continue as captain and Gardner valued for her all-round abilities, the remaining two overseas spots will be under scrutiny, especially with the inclusion of Dottin. The Indian core lacks experience, which could hurt the team in the upcoming edition of the competition. Harleen has recently returned after a long injury layoff, while Priya Mishra is new to the international stage. Tanuja has been in and out of the national team. Players like Meghna, Mannat, Bharti, Sayali, and Kashvee need to step up with impactful performances to justify the franchise’s faith in them. Hemalatha has also struggled with her strike rate and consistency, which remain a concern. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Retained players and New recruitments for Gujarat Giants (PC: GG Insta) New recruitments: Deandra Dottin (Rs. 1.70 crore), Simran Shaikh (Rs. 1.90 crore), Danielle Gibson (Rs. 30 lakh), Prakashika Naik (Rs. 10 lakh) Dottin, fondly known as the ‘World Boss’, made headlines when Gujarat acquired her for ₹1.70 crore. The West Indies legend had a strong showing at the Women’s T20 World Cup in Dubai. She continued to impress with her all-round contributions during the ongoing tour of India and is now busy with the three-match ODI series. Ahead of the ODI series opener, she shared her excitement about joining Gujarat for the next WPL season in an exclusive chat with RevSportz. “I am really excited,” she said. “I do not want to get too excited. It is really good to be a part of the Gujarat team in the WPL 2025. I am just looking forward to playing good cricket and hopefully, getting them across the line to win the trophy next year.” Known for her explosive power-hitting, Dottin also adds value with her bowling at crucial moments and her exceptional fielding skills. Simran emerged as the most expensive player, with a final bid of ₹1.90 crore. In the inaugural season, the young Mumbai batter played nine games for UP Warriorz but managed only 29 runs. Last season, she went unsold. However, after impressive performances in domestic cricket, Gujarat decided to invest heavily in her. The high price tag surprised many fans, and with it comes significant pressure. She will need to deliver consistently to justify the expectations. Prakashika Naik could be a valuable addition, given her experience of 38 T20s. She has taken 40 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 5.30. The leg-spinner could prove to be a reliable option if given opportunities. Danielle Gibson appears to be a backup option. Known for her all-round skills with right-arm medium-pace bowling and right-hand batting, she might only be considered when specific team needs arise. Overall, this team seems likely to face challenges once again, primarily due to uncertainty around the performance of their Indian core. Four foreign stars alone cannot win a tournament; a strong and dependable Indian core is essential for success.

The team might have done better by reevaluating their retained players list, especially considering the Indian players they chose to keep.
