Bought for a whopping INR 1 crore in the TATA WPL 2024 auction, highly promising Australian youngster Phoebe Litchfield provided a glimpse of her talent with a sparkling 119 against India in the ODI series at the start of 2024. Litchfield has been considered 'one for the future' ever since her junior cricket days. The left-handed top-order batter is now a key component of Australia's teams across formats. The 22-year-old is particularly known for her ability to play spin very well, as evidenced by her incredible consistency during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 in India and Sri Lanka. Litchfield ended the tournament as the fifth-highest run scorer with 304 runs in 7 innings at an average of 50.66. The energetic Australian, widely regarded as one of the best fielders in the world, will aim to keep up her rich vein of form in a fresh start in the WPL with UP Warriorz.
