The Mumbai-based Women's team was the second-most expensive team bought in the inaugural WPL 2023 auction. The franchise owners roped Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur for 1.8 Crore.  Kaur is also appointed to lead the Mumbai Indians in WPL 2023, though the most costly bid of the franchise remained England's star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt for 3.2 Crore. Mumbai Indians also grabbed the service of 22-year-old New Zealand star Amelia Kerr. The Mumbai-based franchise looked keen to have a versatile squad for the first-ever WPL and hence, made a couple of multi-skilled inclusions to the squad in the form of West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews and explosive South African all-rounder Chloe Tryon, as well. They also signed the Indian regulars Pooja Vastrakar, Yastika Bhatia, and some lesser-known domestic players. WPL 2023 Schedule: Get Fixtures, Time Table With Venue Details of Women’s Premier League Inaugural Edition.
