WPL 2026: We’re Very Happy With The Players We’ve Retained, Says DC Coach Jonathan Batty
U19 T20 World Cup: Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Jonathan Batty acknowledged the emotional challenge of releasing players while expressing confidence in the retained core of Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland and Niki Prasad for WPL 2026.
Jemimah and Shafali were instrumental in India winning 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, by delivering match-winning performances in the semifinal and final. Niki was promising in her maiden WPL season this year after captaining India to 2025 Women’s U19 T20 World Cup win, while Marizanne and Annabel had great all-round performances in the recent 50-over global event.
“We’ve played some outstanding cricket over the first three seasons. This was a tight-knit group that performed as a cohesive unit, and that togetherness reflected in our results. It’s always difficult to release players after sharing such a successful journey, but that’s the nature of the WPL and the challenge that comes with it.”
