Danni Wyatt creates history, becomes first player to be traded off in WPL

Apart from the unusual shocks of Sneh Rana, Issy Wong, and Lea Tahuhu being released, the WPL 2025 Retention List was more or less normal. All 5 teams have gone on to retain their core strength of players. But the highlight was captured by Danni Wyatt who was traded off to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by UP Warriorz (UPW) for a price of 30 lakhs.

As the Women’s Premier League (WPL) ventures into its third season, this is the first time in the history of the league that a trade-off has taken place. The English batter was originally a part of the UP outfits. But now she will be playing her trade with the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
