Up Warriorz Welcomes Georgia Voll: A Young Talent Steps in for Chamari Athapaththu

Chamari Athapaththu Leaves for National Duties

In a notable development for the Women’s Premier League 2025 season, UP Warriorz has announced the departure of Sri Lankan cricket star Chamari Athapaththu. Athapaththu will resume her national duties, having not played a single match for UP Warriorz during the current season. Her absence will create a vacancy in the lineup, but the franchise remains optimistic about the potential contributions of other players.

Introducing Georgia Voll

In response to the departure of Athapaththu, UP Warriorz have acquired Australia’s emerging talent, Georgia Voll. Renowned for her exceptional batting abilities, the 21-year-old has garnered significant recognition in international cricket. Notably, she achieved a century shortly after her ODI debut. Voll’s performance during the preceding Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) season underscores her potential, as she amassed 330 runs at an impressive strike rate of 144.73.

Season Outlook for UP Warriorz

As UP Warriorz transition to this new lineup, the season has already exhibited both successes and setbacks, particularly due to the regular absence of captain Alyssa Healy. Deepti Sharma has assumed the captaincy, guiding the team through a challenging commencement. Their exhilarating triumph over RCB exemplified their competitive spirit amidst the tournament’s inconsistencies. As they prepare for their home leg at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, all attention will be focused on Voll to ascertain whether she can emulate the leadership of Athapaththu and propel her team to victory.
