In addition to these big names, the Giants also picked up England’s Danielle Gibson and Prakashika Naik for their base prices.

Danielle Gibson, bought for INR 30 lakhs, adds depth with her all-round skills, while Prakashika Naik, bought for INR 10 lakhs, will bring more variety to the squad.
Before the auction, Gujarat retained 14 players, and with these additions, combined with their already impressive roster of foreign stars like Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner, Gujarat Giants are set to be a formidable force in the upcoming WPL season.
Out of the INR 15 crore purse allotted to each franchise, Gujarat used INR 14.20 crore to complete their 18-player squad, which consists of 12 Indian players and 6 overseas players.
