Mumbai Indians Sign USA Pacer Tara Norris in First WPL Trade Ahead of 2027 Season
Mumbai Indians have signed USA left-arm pacer Tara Norris from UP Warriorz in a historic first-ever trade deal ahead of the 2027 Women's Premier League (WPL) season. Norris, who previously played for Delhi Capitals and MI London, became the first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in WPL history. The 28-year-old joins Mumbai Indians at her existing fee of Rs 10 lakh, adding depth and left-arm pace variety to their bowling attack. Players from Associate nations like Norris are exempt from overseas-player limits, allowing MI more selection flexibility.
