The first-ever player auction at the Men's Hundred tournament in London on Thursday made a lot of headlines, with uncapped talent James Coles becoming the costliest player in the inaugural Men's Hundred auction after being purchased for a whopping GBP 390,000 by London Spirit. Another major name to draw strong attention was Jordan Cox, who had an outstanding previous season and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. After considerable interest from multiple teams, he was eventually secured by Welsh Fire for £300,000. Overseas stars also featured prominently during the auction.

South African captain Aiden Markram became the highest-paid international player of the night when Manchester Super Giants signed him for £200,000. Meanwhile, fellow South African power-hitter David Miller made history as the first overseas player sold in the auction after being picked up early by Southern Brave.
