THE HUNDRED 2026: A total of 80 players were sold during the inaugural auction of the men’s competition in The Hundred, held on Thursday in London. Several players attracted big bids as franchises built their squads for the tournament.
James Coles Becomes The Most Expensive Pick At The Hundred Auction 2026
James Coles, an all-rounder from Sussex County Cricket Club, emerged as the biggest buy of the auction. He was signed by the London Spirit for 390,000 (approx. 4.8 crore), making him the most expensive player in the tournament’s history.
Abrar Ahmed Signing By Kavya Maran Sparks Debate
The biggest talking point of the auction, however, was the signing of Abrar Ahmed. He was picked up for 190,000 by Sunrisers Leeds, a team owned by the same group that runs Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. The franchise faced criticism for signing a Pakistani player who had previously been in the news for mocking India and army personnel.
Other Notable Picks From The Hundred Auction 2026
Another Pakistan player, Usman Tariq, was bought by Birmingham Phoenix for £140,000. Former England captain Joe Root was the first player sold, joining Welsh Fire for 240,000, while Jason Roy was the final pick, signed by MI London for 31,000.
