Shreyanka Patil and Radha Yadav are among the 16 Indian players who have joined Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues to nominate themselves for the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 10 draft, scheduled to be held on Sunday (September 1).

Harmanpreet, Deepti and Jemimah were among the first nominees revealed for the WBBL|10 Draft, which could see 162 players up for selection from overseas players list, including India and Pakistan.

While 19 players from India have nominated themselves for the draft, star opener Smriti Mandhan has already found a new home in WBBL, having been roped in by Adelaide Strikers as the pre-draft signing.
