3 players Gujarat Giants could retain ahead of WPL Auction 2026

Gujarat Giants are one of the most prominent, popular, and important teams in the WPL, one of the sought after premier franchise-based competitions in the women's game today. Ask captain Ashleigh Garnder

what the team means to her and the committed Aussie, among the premier all-rounders in the women's game, would share in no uncertain terms about the importance of the women's version of the Indian franchise T20 league as we know it. Gardner, who has been in roaring form in the game for much of 2025 would state that she is in it to win it.

She would say with absolute clarity that the last time around, the team faltered when they could have progressed ahead, losing as many games as they won it. And with four wins, they didn't quite succeed in creating a big impression in the tournament, something that Delhi and Mumbai excelled with, the dazzling duo reaching the final. That being told, which three players from Gujarat Giants can be retained ahead of the WPL Auction 2026.

3 players Gujarat Giants could retain ahead of WPL Auction 2026

Phoebe Litchfield

The in-form and dependable batter from Australia fired a silvery century recently in the must-win semi-final contest against India in the World Cup. While Jemimah Rodrigues saved the day for India - and the fan would say gladly so - Phoebe Litchfield's counter attacking century, a bit too much for India's comfort in the first phase of the hosts' chase to set the tone for a cracking game. And frankly speaking, that is what Litchfield would still like to do in what lies ahead for her Gujarat Titans team in the WPL and would likely be retained by her incumbent franchise.

Harleen Deol

The gritty batter and outstanding fielder, who's often valiantly patroling the outfield, needs 18 more runs to reach 500 runs in the WPL and one reckons, Harleen Deol would love to be there with Gujarat Giants and no one else. At least, at this point in time.

Ashleigh Gardner

Where else would one of the world's finest, most easy-going and premier all rounders be at this time other than with her Gujarat Giants team, of which she is more than just a captain; arguably speaking, but the finest contributor?

It is highly likely that Gardner, 567 runs and 25 wickets for her WPL outfit, must stay back and hope to fire much more from the ammunition called infinite talent.
