WPL 2026: RCB-W Full Squad After Mega Auction

Here’s the complete list and full squad of RCB-W after the mega auction took place on November 27, 2025 at New Delhi.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) women’s team walked out of the WPL 2026 mega auction with a fully loaded 18-member squad, blending experienced internationals, Indian core strength and promising domestic talent. With their purse exhausted by the end of the auction, RCB appeared to follow a clear strategy—strengthening pace options, adding power-packed all-rounders and maintaining stability in batting.

RCB began the auction with a solid retained core featuring captain Smriti Mandhana, star all-rounder Ellyse Perry, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh and breakout spinner Shreyanka Patil. These four formed the backbone of the squad, setting the tone for their auction approach. Mandhana’s leadership and Perry’s multi-skill presence continue to anchor RCB’s long-term plans.

Their most expensive signing of the day, England pacer Lauren Bell (₹90 lakh), emerged as the costliest pick for the franchise, signalling RCB’s intent to build a strong pace attack.
