England batter Sophia Dunkley has been released by Women’s Premier League team Gujarat Giants but six other England players, including Nat Sciver-Brunt, have been retained by sides for the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Dunkley is among the 11 players let go by Giants after they finished bottom of the five-team table in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2023.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old scored 121 runs in six innings for Giants with a best of 65 as her team lost six and won just two of their eight matches.<\/p>\n

Dunkley’s England team-mates Sciver-Brunt and Issy Wong have been retained by defending champions Mumbai India.<\/p>\n

Sciver-Brunt was the second-highest run-scorer in 2023, managing 332 in 10 knocks including an unbeaten 60 in the final as Mumbai beat Delhi Capitals by seven wickets.<\/p>\n

Fast bowler Wong claimed a hat-trick for Indians in the victory over UP Warriorz in the eliminator and bagged a total of 15 wickets in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Capitals have kept all-rounder Alice Capsey, while UP Warriorz have retained left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone – the joint-leading wicket-taker last term with 16 scalps – and seamer Lauren Bell.<\/p>\n

England skipper Heather Knight will represent Royal Challengers Bangalore once again.<\/p>\n
