Harleen Deol is primed to make her Women’s Caribbean Premier League debut after joining title holders Barbados Tridents for the remainder of the 2026 edition. The dynamic India batter has travelled to Barbados and joins the Tridents as their fifth overseas member. Deol, 28, isn’t part of either the senior India or India ‘A’ squads and will therefore stay with the franchise throughout the season.
Her arrival bolsters the Indian presence in WCPL 2026. Five of the 20 overseas berths are now occupied by Indians, with Kiran Navgire and Pooja Vastrakar also part of the Tridents contingent. Shikha Pandey and Yastika Bhatia, meanwhile, will turn up for Trinbago Knight Riders.
Barbados just got a whole new vibeeee 🔥🇮🇳
Aapka hamari team mein swagat hai, @imharleenDeol 🤩💙 pic.twitter.com/7RSAQeqoxe
