5 Players DC W Must Target in the WPL 2026 Mega Auction
Delhi Capitals (DC), three-time finalists, face a big challenge ahead of the WPL 2026 auction. After making it to the final for three years in a row, the team is still chasing their first trophy. Now, the management will be looking for the right mix of players to finally lift the title. Fans can check out the DC retention and release lists here.
Meg Lanning has been leading DC for the past three seasons. Even though the team reached the final every year, they are yet to win a trophy. There’s some uncertainty about Lanning’s future since she retired from international cricket in 2023, but the 33-year-old could still be bought back after being released. With the mega auction coming up, this is a great chance for DC to rebuild their squad.
With WPL 2026 just around the corner, let’s take a look at who Delhi Capitals might keep, who could be released, and the players they might target in the auction.
