3 players who can make India comeback after WPL 2026
WPL is a tournament that serves as a platform for players who have moved out of the national setup to make their case for an India comeback.
2. Shreyanka Patil (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women)
Young Shreyanka Patil is slowly making her case for an India recall with strong performances in the ongoing WPL 2026. The 23-year-old all-rounder has already shown her value for Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, who retained her despite a long injury layoff. In WT20Is, she has taken 20 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 19.20, while in WPL, she has claimed 22 wickets in 17 games, including her career best of 4/12, finishing as the Purple Cap winner in RCB's victorious season in 2024.
However, injuries of shin splints, wrist issues, and a fractured thumb ruled her out for nearly 14 months, forcing her to miss WPL 2025 and India assignments. Having returned for the new season, Patil will look to get back to her previous form and fight for a spot in the national team. It is worth noting that she last represented India in October 2024 during the T20 World Cup.
