Though jess

Mannat Kashyap Shuchi Upadhayay: Hours ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) mega auction, Australia’s left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Jess Jonassen has been ruled out from the player pool owing to an injury.

Sources familiar with the matter told IANS on Thursday that Jess’s unavailability was formally communicated to all five franchises during the mandatory pre-auction briefing on Wednesday.

Jess had been a part of Delhi Capitals (DC) in the first three WPL seasons, where they finished as runners-up on all occasions.
