Australian leg-spinner Alana King was signed by UP Warriorz for her base price of INR 30 lakh at the auction for WPL 2025. Born in Melbourne to Indian parents from Chennai, she has been a key part of Australia’s gold-winning Commonwealth Games squad, the 2022 ODI World Cup team, and the 2023 T20 World Cup-winning team. Having previously played in India for Supernovas in the Women’s T20 Challenge, she now strengthens UPW’s spin attack alongside Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone, forming a formidable trio against any opposition.
