Bhopal Wolves have announced their women’s squad for the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20 Scindia Cup 2026, with a blend of emerging local talent and proven performers set to headline the franchise’s latest title push. The side will open its campaign against Bundelkhand Bulls on June 4 at Daly College, Indore.

Bhopal Wolves have gone public with a 15 member line up that leans heavily on young, multi dimensional cricketers who can contribute across departments in T20 cricket. Sanskriti Gupta and Aayushi Shukla are among the most prominent names in the squad, expected to anchor the batting and provide stability in crunch moments. The Wolves will be one of five teams in the women’s MPL T20 Scindia Cup, joined by Bundelkhand Bulls, Chambal Ghariyals, Gwalior Shernis and Royal Nimar Eagles in an expanded competition this season.

How The Squad Shapes Up

The Bhopal Wolves women’s squad features a core of top order batters, seam bowling options and spin depth designed for central India pitches. Alongside Gupta and Shukla, players like Hanshikha Kirar, Priyanka Koushal, Tamanna Choudhary and Vaishnavi Vyas add batting depth, while the likes of Reena Yadav and Rishita Parihar strengthen the bowling unit. Team management has pitched this as a unit that can grow together over multiple MPL seasons rather than a one year experiment.

Tournament Context And First Test

The women’s MPL T20 Scindia Cup has been steadily expanding, with new entrants Gwalior Shernis and Royal Nimar Eagles joining the line up to deepen the talent pool and regional reach. For Bhopal Wolves, an opening clash against Bundelkhand Bulls on June 4 offers an immediate test of balance, temperament and bench strength under tournament pressure. Performances here will be watched closely by state selectors and domestic scouts tracking the next wave of women’s cricket talent from Madhya Pradesh.
