Beth Mooney returns as skipper of Gujarat Giants, Sneh Rana named vice-captain ahead of WPL 2024

Australia’s star cricketer, Beth Mooney, took charge once again as skipper of the Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024. Notably, the left-hander played in just one game during WPL 2023 before being sidelined by grave injuries. The 30-year-old cricketer had to pull out of the game due to injury after only three balls in the game against the Mumbai Indians at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai.

However, star batter Sneh Rana took the onus and led the side. Meanwhile, Sneh Rana will serve as Mooney’s deputy in the 2024 WPL. Beth Mooney had expressed his happiness after returning to the Gujarat Giants as the skipper of the team. In addition, the left-handed batter is confident of performing well in the WPL 2024.

“I am delighted to be back with Gujarat Giants and grateful for the team’s trust in me. We have a fantastic squad, and I am confident we will put up a good show. It is good WPL will be played in Bengaluru and New Delhi, which are new to the tournament,” Beth Mooney said.
