Georgia Voll is selected by UPW to succeed Chamari Athapaththu in the WPL 2025 competition.

UP Warriorz (UPW) have named Australia top-order batter Georgia Voll as replacement for Chamari Athapaththu, who will be missing the final phase of the WPL owing to national duties. As reported by last week, Athapaththu was supposed to be available for UPW only till February 26, for their game against Mumbai Indians in Bengaluru which they lost. UPW next play on March 3, which will be the first game this season in Lucknow. The first of Sri Lanka's three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) is played in Napier the following day, followed by three T20Is. As such, Athapaththu hasn't played any of UPW's five games this season. Twenty-one-year-old Voll has only played three T20Is, having made her debut against England in January. But prior to that, she was Sydney Thunder's second-highest run-getter at WBBL 2024-25, where she scored 330 runs at a strike rate of 144. Thunder had progressed all the way to the WBBL Challenger, where they were defeated by Brisbane Heat. Voll scored a century in just her second ODI, against India last December. With 173 runs at an average of 86.50, she had won that series with the most runs. Voll joins UPW for INR 30 lakh, or approximately US$ 34,350. UPW are currently placed fourth on the five-team WPL points table, having won two of their games so far.
