WPL 2025: Danni Wyatt-Hodge Traded To Royal Challengers Bengaluru From UP Warriorz
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: England opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been traded to Royal Challengers Bengaluru from UP Warriorz ahead of the 2025 Women's Premier League (WPL), the tournament's governing council informed on Wednesday. Originally acquired by UP Warriorz in the auction ahead of the 2024 WPL season for INR 30 lakh, Danni didn’t get to play any game as the side failed to enter the playoffs. With this trade, Danni will move to RCB, the defending champions of the tournament, at her existing fee.
Danni, 33, brings a wealth of experience to RCB, having played 164 T20Is for England - the highest number of matches played by a women’s cricketer from her country. She has made 2979 runs at an average of 22.91 and strike-rate of 127.85, including two centuries and 16 fifties.
Danni, known for her aggressive batting strokeplay at the top, was also a member of the England team winning the 2017 Women’s ODI World Cup on home soil and had previously mentioned on her X account that RCB was her favourite team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). “It was always meant to be. Welcome to RCB!” wrote the franchise in a post on their ‘X’ account.
