Ahead Of 2026 WPL, Delhi Capitals Set To Announce New Captain On Sunday Evening
Star Sports Network: Ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL), three-time runners-up Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to announce their new captain for the upcoming season on Sunday evening.
DC were captained by Australia’s multiple times World Cup winning skipper Meg Lanning, but fell short of winning the WPL title in 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively. But with Meg released by the franchise and being roped in by UP Warriorz (UPW) at the mega auction in New Delhi last month, they have a leadership void to fill.
IANS understands that India batter Jemimah Rodrigues and South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt are in the race to be DC’s new captain. “Jemimah had been DC’s vice-captain for three seasons, while Laura has considerable international leadership experience by leading the Proteas. It will be interesting to see who they go with,” said a source familiar with the matter to IANS on Saturday.
