The WPL 2025 retention work has been completed, and each team has announced the list of players they have retained and released. Gujarat Giants have axed 7 players. Since then, Gujarat has had the largest purse – Rs 4.4 billion. It also includes Lee Tahuhu, who won the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup for New Zealand. However he has a wealth of experience which could be useful to the team. The 34-year-old is known for his excellent bowling.
Lee Tahuhu won many matches for New Zealand
Apart from Lee Tahuhu, the Gujarat Giants also released players like Sneh Rana and Veda Krishnamurthy. Lee Tahuhu played only two games for Gujarat in which she took just one wicket. But Tahuhu played a lot of international cricket for New Zealand. With New Zealand, he took 93 wickets in 96 T20 internationals. Apart from this, 115 wickets were recorded in 97 ODI matches. With his experience and ability, he might be able to fetch a lot of money at auction.
Sneh Rana is going through a bad phase.
Snellana, on the other hand, have struggled in the Women’s Super League. She has scored 47 runs in 12 WPL matches so far but can only take 6 wickets. He also played his last T20 international match for India in 2023. She has since left the team. Seeing his poor form, the Gujarat Giants showed him a way out.
The Gujarat Giants have participated in the Women’s Super League twice but failed to win the title once. Both times the team finished fifth in the standings.
Players retained and released by Gujarat Giants:
reserve: Harleen Deol, Dayaram Hemlata, Tanuja Kanwar, Shabnam Shakir, Mannat Kashyap, Sayali Sasgare, Meghna ·Singer, Priya Mishra, Beth Mooney, Ashley Gardner, Laura Walvat, Phoebe Litchfield, Kashvi Gautam, Bhatti ·Fulmali.
