Sneh Rana (Source: BCCI) Veteran Indian all-rounder Sneh Rana was acquired by UP Warriorz for Rs 30 lakh during the mini-auction of Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 held on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in Kochi, Keralam. The UP-led franchise has added Rana to its squad to bolster its strengths for the upcoming season. After his selection, Rana thanked the franchise management for their trust.
“First of all, I would like to thank UP Warriorz for choosing me. I am very excited about this opportunity. And like I always say, whenever I get the opportunity, whatever team I go to, I want to do my best for them.
Now that I have joined UP Warriorz, I want to do the same. Thank you to everyone in management,” Rana said about JioStar. A total of 146 players went under the hammer at the WPL 2027 mini-auction in Kochi, with 27 spots available across the five franchises.
Updated on October 28, 2026, 7:05 PM IST Rana’s arrival gives UP Warriorz another experienced all-rounder to complete their team. Before joining UP Warriorz, Rana had won the Gujarat Giants in the WPL. She also served as a substitute for Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women and represented Delhi Citals in the WPL 2026.
How does Sneh Rana fit into the UP Warriorz spin bowling unit? UP Warriorz already has Indian all-rounder Dee Sharma and England’s Sophie Ecclestone in its ranks. The addition of Rana means the franchise will field a formidable trio of spinners, with each team contributing both bat and ball.
Rana emphasized that his current acquaintance with Dee represents a crucial advantage for the unit. She said: “It’s a very dynamic bowling unit and Sophie Ecclestone – Dee Sharma will be bowling with me.” I have always played with Dee so I know her strengths and there will be good communication between us.
It will be a lot of fun,” said Rana. What does Sneh Rana think about playing under Meg Lanning? “I’m very excited.
I always saw her on TV and even now it feels really good when I see her leading UP Warriorz. It is wonderful to observe their presence and the changes it brings. That’s why I’m really hpy to play under him,” she concluded.
Australian hitter Meg Lanning holds UP Warriorz for WPL 2027. Rana will now have the opportunity to play under one of the most experienced leaders in women’s cricket and she has made it clear that the prospect only adds to her excitement about joining the franchise.
