England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been traded to reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the 2025 edition of the Women's Premier League.

Having gone unsold for the inaugural season in 2023, Wyatt-Hodge was signed by UP Warriorz for the competition's second season earlier this year but did not play.

The 33-year-old will move to RCB for 30 lakh rupees (拢27,400).

Wyatt-Hodge has played 164 T20s for England and was their leading run-scorer in the recent T20 World Cup, where England made a disappointing group-stage exit.

The WPL franchises can have a maximum of six overseas players in their squads, with four allowed to play in an XI.

Last season RCB's overseas players were New Zealand World Cup-winning captain Sophie Devine, superstar all-rounder Ellyse Perry plus her Australia team-mates Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham, England bowler Kate Cross and South Africa all-rounder Nadine de Klerk.

The dates of the 2025 WPL, expected to take place in the spring, are yet to be announced.
