Ahead of the first-ever Women's Premier League Auction, we list down five players who can potentially become captains of the five franchises. These players have wealth of experience and are role models in women's game. Take a look at the list below.

1/5

Deepti Sharma

Deepti Sharma

Deepti Sharma is an experienced player now and is also an all-rounder. She is a smart brain and can lead a side well. She easily makes it to the current World XI T20 team in women's cricket and she knows her worth. That is why she has put herself in the Rs 50 lakh bracket. Think the teams might target him as she can be a good captain. (Image source: Twitter)

2/5

Alyssa Healy

Alyssa Healy

With 137 T20Is, the Australian vice-captain Alyssa Healy has wealth of T20 experience. She opens the batting, keeps the wicket which are in some ways already leadership roles. Healy is a big contender to become a captain of any of the 5 franchises. (Image source: Twitter)

3/5

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana, vice captain of Team India, is surely going to lead a team in the Women's Premier League. She is a great batter and a team player. Mandhana is already being seen as successor to Team India captain Harmanpreet Kaur and it is only good that she prepares herself with captaincy stint in the WPL. (Image source: Twitter)

4/5

Harmanpreet Kaur

Harmanpreet Kaur

Harmanpreet Kaur, who already leads India across formats, is surely going to attrack a bidding war. Most of the teams would be wanting her as captain as she has proven her skills at the top level. (Image source: Twitter)

5/5

Ellyse Perry

Ellyse Perry

Australia's Ellyse Perry has done it all. Batting. Bowling. Fielding. She has even played a Football World Cup. The one thing that she still has to achieve is win a big tournament as captain. WPL is a great opportunity for her. Think the teams will need such veterans and role models to become the captain of the sides in the initial years to ensure the basics are done right. (Image source: Twitter)
