## History[edit]

In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023.[2] The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month.[3] Capri Global bought the rights to one of the franchises, to be based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.[3]

In February 2023, Jon Lewis was announced as head coach of the side.[4] The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with UP Warriorz signing 16 players for their squad.[5] The side went on to finish third in the group stage of the inaugural edition of the WPL, qualifying for the eliminator.[6] However, they lost to Mumbai Indians by 72 runs in the eliminator.[1]
