Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have retained their core players like captain Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, Richa Ghosh, Shreyanka Patil, and Asha Sobhana ahead of 2025 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). The side has let go of Disha Kasat, Indrani Roy, Nadine de Klerk, Heather Knight, Shubha Satheesh, Shraddha Pokharkar and Simran Dil Bahadur.

“The WPL retention and release is always a balancing act heading into a mini-auction,” said head coach Luke Williams. “We really came to retain a significant number of players that were involved in the championship-winning team from last season, but, also, gave ourselves the flexibility and opportunity to select some targetted players in the auction to give us some depth going into the next season.”
