WPL 2024: Beth Mooney to lead Gujarat Giants
Australia’s formidable batter Beth Mooney is set to lead Gujarat Giants in the upcoming edition of the Women’s Premier League scheduled to begin from February 23. The franchise announced Mooney’s appointment on Wednesday.
During the inaugural edition as well, Mooney was named the captain, but couldn’t continue to lead after suffering injury in the first game. Amid her absence, Indian player Sneh Rana had led the team. Sneh Rana will be her deputy in this edition of the tournament. Mooney brings a wealth of experience to the captaincy role, having excelled for Australia exceptionally.
“I am delighted to be back with Gujarat Giants and grateful for the team’s trust in me. We have a fantastic squad, and I am confident we will put up a good show. It is good WPL will be played in Bengaluru and New Delhi, which are new to the tournament,” said Mooney.
“The second season of WPL will be another festival of cricket. That Beth is back as skipper is fantastic news, and I will do everything I can to support her. The squad is well-balanced, and we are in a good place as a team,” said Rana.
Gujarat Giants will kick off their WPL 2024 campaign with their match against Mumbai Indians on February 25 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
