The Giants had 10 available slots and had a squad size of eight players, of which three of them are overseas players. The Gujarat-based franchise had a forgettable campaign in the inaugural WPL season where they finished bottom of the points table with two wins out of eight matches and a Net Run Rate (NRR) of (-2.200). The side suffered a big blow when they lost skipper Beth Mooney for the season with an injury in the first match. Gujarat Giants will have the maximum purse at the auction, of Rs 5.95 crore and will hope to make the most of that and assemble a powerful squad for next season.  BCCI President Roger Binny to Head Women’s Premier League Committee.
