Fifteen-year-old Karnataka all-rounder Uma Kashvi has become the youngest player to be purchased at the Women's Premier League (WPL) auction, following in the footsteps of fellow teenage talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

The young cricketer's selection marks a significant milestone in the league's history, highlighting the growing emphasis on nurturing emerging talent in women's cricket. Kashvi, who represents Karnataka in domestic competitions, was acquired during the latest auction proceedings.

Her signing comes after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi previously drew attention as a young prospect in the cricketing circuit. The WPL continues to serve as a platform for showcasing India's next generation of female cricketers.
