WPL 2025 retention has been completed and all the teams have released the list of players retained and released by them. Gujarat Giants team has released 7 players. After this, Gujarat is left with the biggest purse of Rs 4.40 crore. This also includes Lee Tahuhu, who won the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 title for New Zealand. Whereas he had immense experience, which could have been useful to the team. This 34 year old player is known for her excellent bowling.

Lee Tahuhu won many matches for New Zealand

Apart from Lee Tahuhu, Gujarat Giants team has also released players like Sneh Rana and Veda Krishnamurthy. Lee Tahuhu played only two matches for Gujarat, in which she could take only one wicket. But Tahuhu played a lot of international cricket for New Zealand. For the Kiwi team, he took 93 wickets in 96 T20 International matches. Apart from this, 115 wickets have been recorded in 97 ODI matches. Considering his experience and ability, he may fetch a lot of money in the auction.

Sneh Rana is going through a bad phase.
