[Saba Sports News] After the WPL (Women’s Premier League) 2024 auction concluded, English cricketer Kate Cross became a prominent topic, having been signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore women for INR 30 lakh, ahead of the league’s second season. Cross, known for supporting Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, humorously engaged with RCB men’s team during IPL 2020. She posted on X (previously Twitter), using a picture of CSK captain MS Dhoni captioned “Definitely Not”, replying to Alexandra Hartley’s question about RCB’s chances of winning a title.
Following her signing with RCB women for the WPL 2024, Hartley welcomed Cross on X, exclaiming “CROSSY TO RCB!!!!! Welcome home, @katecross16 @RCBTweets”. Cross admitted her fondness for RCB, responding, “Always had a soft spot for RCB, AI”.
RCB women, bolstering their team for the WPL 2024, added talents like Georgia Wareham, Kate Cross, Ekta Bisht, Shubha Satheesh, S Meghana, Simran Bahadur, and Sophie Molineux.
The team, led by Smriti Mandhana, aims to rebound from their forgettable 2023 season, where they won only two of eight games and exited early. The infusion of star players like Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight, and others raises expectations for RCB’s performance in the upcoming WPL 2024, drawing attention from numerous fans.
