The Women's Premier League 2026 is in full swing, but two key players, Deeya Yadav and Mamatha Madiwala, are unfortunately out for the remainder of the season. The Delhi Capitals have brought in two new replacements to bolster their squad: Hyderabad seamer Eddla Srujana and Punjab all-rounder Pragati Singh. Both replacements have been signed for INR 10 lakh each and will join the team ahead of their upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Vadodara on January 24th.
Pragati Singh has a strong background in representing Punjab Women, India B Women Under-19, and the India E Women teams. On the other hand, Eddla Srujana has been a net bowler for the Delhi Capitals. Despite their recent injuries, both players have been crucial to the team's performance.
Madiwala and Yadav have had a challenging season so far. Madiwala hasn't played a single game, while Yadav made her debut as the youngest debutant in WPL history but didn't get to bat or bowl. Their absence will be a significant loss for the Capitals, who have only secured two wins in their five group games.
The Capitals' performance has been a topic of discussion, and the team's struggles have been a reminder of the challenges faced by women's cricket. Despite the setbacks, the replacements bring new energy and talent to the squad, and the team is determined to turn their fortunes around in the remaining matches.
