2026 WPL Auction: Anya’s Intel Has Been Invaluable, She’s Been Brilliant So Far, Says Malolan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Malolan Rangarajan said newly appointed assistant coach Anya Shrubsole’s intel has been invaluable in their 2026 WPL mega auction strategy, adding that the former England seamer has been brilliant in her role so far.
RCB underlined that England influence by snapping up fast bowler Lauren Bell and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith. "First of all, Anya is someone we've wanted on board for a while now and we're very very happy that she's part of our think tank and our set-up. For all the Indians, I will have to unfortunately remind everyone of the 2017 tragic she gave to us.”
“But jokes apart, we've been working with Anya for the last couple of weeks planning our retentions and auctions. It's a coincidence that we have Anya, Lauren Bell and Linsey Smith, so don't have to make any untowards connections there. It was a clear battle between MI and us for the pacer and we are very happy with that.”
