A total of four Indian cricketers will feature in the 2026 Women's Hundred, underlining the growing presence of Indian talent in franchise cricket. Smriti Mandhana will represent Manchester Super Giants, while Jemimah Rodrigues will turn out for Southern Brave after being retained by their respective franchises. Wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh was picked by Manchester Super Giants in the auction, while all-rounder Deepti Sharma will play for Sunrisers Leeds. Seventeen Indian players had registered for the auction, but only these four secured contracts for the tournament, which runs from July 21 to August 16.
