The first-ever Men’s Hundred auction concluded on March 12, 2026, at the iconic Piccadilly Lights in central London. James Coles shattered records as the most expensive buy at £390,000, snapped up by London Spirit. Jordan Cox (£300,000 to Welsh Fire) and Tom Curran (£260,000 to MI London) also triggered intense bidding wars.
Pakistan players had a forgettable day as Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, and Saim Ayub all went unsold, while big names like Faf du Plessis, Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Anrich Nortje, and Wanindu Hasaranga also found no takers.
Sunrisers Leeds made headlines by signing Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed for £190,000 despite speculation that IPL-backed franchises would avoid Pakistani players. Here are all the updates, sold players, prices, and complete squads.
