Most Players Went For Numbers We Had Prepared For: UPW Coach Nayar Expresses Satisfaction With WPL Auction
But Sophie Ecclestone: UP Warriorz head coach Abhishek Nayar discussed the acquisition of key players, including Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone, at the recently concluded Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction and expressed satisfaction at getting players at the numbers that they had prepared for.
Warriorz built a powerful squad, and the highlight of their auction process was the acquisition of experienced players such as Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield, Deandra Dottin, Chloe Tryon, and Shikha Pandey, besides Deepti and Ecclestone, as they aim to clinch their maiden title.
Speaking on JioHotstar, Nayar shared his thoughts on their most satisfying bid of the auction, saying, “I think most players went for the numbers we had prepared for. But Sophie Ecclestone was a surprise for us. She’s a marquee player and someone who has delivered for years. I had kept Rs 1.8 crore in mind, so getting her at Rs 85 lakh was a big surprise. I believe the timing worked in our favour.”
