The special thing is that the dates of Women’s Super Smash and WPL are clashing with each other. The Super Smash is scheduled to be played till January 31, while the WPL will be held between January 9 and February 5. In such a situation, Perry’s playing in New Zealand gives rise to speculation whether he has distanced himself from WPL to give priority to Super Smash. However, till now no clear statement has come from Alice Perry herself on this matter.

It is also not clear whether Perry has signed with Wellington for the entire Super Smash season or not. Even in the last season, he had limited participation in this league and played only two matches. In the current season, he played his first match for Wellington on Wednesday, 31 December, in which he played a useful innings of 39 runs. In this match, Wellington registered a spectacular victory by defeating Northern Districts by 61 runs.

Ellyse Perry’s withdrawal from WPL 2026 was confirmed on Wednesday itself. RCB told on social media platform X that Perry had informed the franchise about his decision about a week before the mega auction. After this the team has signed all-rounder Sayli Satghare in his place. However, RCB will definitely miss the absence of an experienced player like Perry. His experience, all-round performance and ability to handle matches under pressure has always been important for the team.

At the same time, there is a debate going on between fans and experts regarding his presence in Super Smash. If Ellyse Perry plays the entire tournament in New Zealand, then more speculations can be made regarding this decision in the coming days. At the moment, Ellyse Perry seems to be focused on Super Smash, while her absence in the WPL remains one of the biggest news of this season.
