Hailing from the Caribbean, Hayley Matthews has been a star batter and also a leader for the West Indies women’s team in the recent past. The right-handed top order batter has been consistent at the highest level leading her team from the front. She was also named in the ICC Women’s T20I team of the year 2024 which speaks volumes of her talent. The West Indian was bought by MI for INR 40 lakhs in the inaugural WPL auction and she ended the season as MI’s third highest-run getter and was the joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 16 wickets and won the coveted Purple Cap. Hayley has been a core member of the team ever since and played crucial roles in the team’s two title winning campaigns. Ahead of TATA WPL 2026, she was retained by the franchise for INR 1.75 Crore showing her value as an all-rounder. She is all set to make her mark again in the upcoming season, entering the campaign as the most successful bowler in the tournament’s history, ready to once again deliver with her all-round brilliance for MI.
