GG Squad 2023: Full Gujarat Giants squad for WPL 2023

Gujarat Giants are one of three franchises who have filled all 18 available spots in their squad for WPL 2023. The Ahmedabad-based franchise, owned by Adani Sportsline, invested more in foreign talents. They splurged a whopping ₹3.2 crore to acquire Australian star Ashleigh Gardener's services.

The Giants also spent ₹2 crore to sign Gardener's compatriot Beth Mooney. Deandra Dottin, Sophia Dunkley, Georgia Wareham and Annabel Sutherland are some of the other high-profile names that are present in the GG squad's overseas section.

Unlike Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, Gujarat did not go all out for any Indian star. In fact, their most expensive signing among the Indian players was all-rounder Sneh Rana, for whom they spent ₹75 lakh.

Here's a look at the complete list of players present in the GG squad for the WPL 2023 season.
