UP Warriorz have named Amy Jones as an injury replacement for Phoebe Litchfield for the remainder of the Women's Premier League 2026.

Litchfield, who has been one of UPW's standout performers this season, scored 243 runs in six matches before being ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Her absence comes as a huge blow for UPW as the league heads into its business end.

Despite having not played in the WPL so far, Jones, the experienced England wicketkeeper-batter, brings a wealth of international exposure, having featured in 125 T20Is and scored 1,666 runs in the format. She joins UP Warriorz for a fee of INR 50 lakh and is expected to add depth and flexibility to both the batting order and the wicketkeeping options for the rest of the season.

The Warriorz are placed at the bottom of the points table with only four points from six games. To have the best chance of qualification, UPW must win both remaining games and reach eight points. They play Royal Challengers Bengaluru on January 29 while their last league match is against Delhi Capitals on February 1.
