Top 5 players who might go unsold in WPL Auction 2027
With 146 players registered and only 27 slots available, several names face a genuine risk of going unsold at the WPL 2027 auction in Kochi on October 28.
3. Annerie Dercksen
Annerie Dercksen is a promising South African all-rounder, but her auction prospects are shaped largely by the extreme scarcity of overseas slots. With only seven overseas positions available across the entire league, franchises must be highly selective. Teams are more likely to direct those slots towards proven WPL performers, elite batters or specialist bowlers with immediate match-winning impact.
Dercksen's relatively limited WPL track record leaves her vulnerable, even if her skill set holds long-term value. Her seam-bowling all-rounder profile does add squad flexibility, but franchises may question whether she contributes enough with either bat or ball to justify an overseas slot ahead of a more established name. In a 27-slot auction, useful players often lose out to essential ones, and Dercksen currently carries more of a developmental than an indispensable profile. That makes her a realistic unsold candidate if teams prioritise certainty over potential.
