Australian captain Alyssa Healy went unsold at the Women’s Premier League 2026 mega-auction, held in New Delhi on Thursday, November 27.
Healy entered the auction as one of the most prominent names, but not a single franchise showed interest in her.
The wicketkeeper-batter was the first player presented in the marquee set. Usually, the first set is dominated by heavy bidding, but, surprisingly, no franchise raised the paddle when her name was announced.
Healy is currently playing in the Women’s Big Bash League for the Sydney Sixers. Her current form is not particularly strong, as she has scored only 65 runs in four innings at an average of 16.25. She missed the previous WPL season because of a foot injury sustained during the T20 World Cup in the UAE.
Healy’s past record in the WPL is respectable, with 428 runs to her name in 17 matches at a strike rate of 130.48 and an average of 26.75. She also captained UP Warriorz in the first two seasons of the WPL. The dynamic top-order batter registered an unbeaten 96 in the opening season, the second-highest score in the tournament’s history.
For Australia, Healy has been one of the most successful and influential players. She has played an important role in Australia’s eight World Cup titles.
The 35-year-old veteran cricketer was put up again in the accelerated auction later in the day, but she still went unsold.
