Alyssa Healy Unsold at WPL 2026 Auction

In a stunning turn at the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 mega auction in New Delhi on November 27, Australian captain and wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy failed to attract a single bid, marking one of the biggest surprises of the event. The 35-year-old, a six-time World Cup winner with a storied international career, was among the first players to go under the hammer but went unsold, despite her recent back-to-back centuries in the 2025 Women's World Cup that helped Australia reach the semifinals.

Healy, who has played 162 T20 internationals since her debut in 2010 and amassed 3,054 runs, had been a key figure for the UP Warriorz over the previous three seasons. She scored 428 runs in 17 WPL matches for the franchise, including three half-centuries, and even served as their captain. Speculation around her lack of interest points to ongoing injury concerns that have affected her in recent years, compounded by a slow start to the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season, where she has managed only 65 runs in four innings. Despite these factors, her omission from bids left observers taken aback, given her reputation as an explosive opener and accomplished leader.
