Deeya Yadav and Mamatha Madiwala Out of WPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Announce Replacements


Delhi Capitals' Deeya Yadav and Mamatha Madiwala have been ruled out of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 due to injuries. Deeya, the 16-year-old youngest debutant in WPL history, had played against Mumbai Indians, while Mamatha hadn't made her debut this season. Srujana, 20, has been part of DC as a net bowler in the past and plays for Hyderabad. She made her debut for the senior team in 2023-24 and also played age-group cricket for Hyderabad. Both the players joined at their base price of INR 10 lakh. While wicketkeeper Madiwala hadn't yet made her WPL debut, Deeya became the youngest player to debut in the WPL when, at 16 years and 103 days, she featured in DC's XI against Mumbai Indians in Vadodara. She did not bat or bowl but had replaced Minnu Mani in the side. DC are currently fourth in the points table with two wins and three defeats. They next play RCB on Saturday evening. DC had also lost the services of Australia allrounder Annabel Sutherland before the tournament started. She had opted out for personal reasons. Pragati Singh and Eddla Srujana have been signed as replacements for INR 10 lakh each. Delhi Capitals currently stand fourth with four points from five matches and need to win their remaining three matches to secure a playoff spot.
