Craig Overton signs for £130,000

James Coles sold for £390,000

The biggest bids of the Auction so far have flooded in for left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder James Coles.

After a flurry of interest from Trent Rockets, SunRisers and London Spirit take the bidding well past £300,000 - and it is Spirit who prevail for comfortably the biggest fee of the day so far.

 

Lewis Gregory is back!

Trent Rockets' title-winning skipper in 2022, Lewis Gregory, is back in yellow and red for 2026.

The all-rounder, who played a crucial hand in the victory over Manchester Originals in the 2022 showpiece, joins for £55,000 after a year at Emirates Old Trafford.

 

 

David Payne secured

After back-and-forth between SunRisers Leeds and Southern Brave, Mick Newell raises the paddle and secures the signature of David Payne for £130,000.

Having been with Welsh Fire since the competition's inception, the Dorset-born left-armer will call Trent Bridge home in 2026.

A stint in London for David Willey

Last year's Trent Rockets captain on their run to The Hundred Final, David Willey will head to London Spirit this summer.

Tongue stays in Manchester

Josh Tongue, leading wicket-taker in the competition last summer, will continue to call Emirates Old Trafford home in The Hundred.

The Nottinghamshire paceman is retained by Manchester Supergiants for £200,000.

Big money moves in the early stages

The early picks are generating interest aplenty from across the eight Hundred teams.

Longtime Trent Rocket Joe Root is the first name out of the hat, with Welsh Fire winning the bidding war and committing £240,000 to secure his signature.
