The first players’ auction for the inaugural edition of South Africa’s SA20 League took place on Monday with South Africa power-hitter Tristan Stubbs fetching the highest bid of Rand 9.2 million and South Africa captains Dean Elgar and Temba Bavuma going unsold.

As many as 314 players went under the hammer with six teams engaged in a fierce bidding war. The six sides — MI Cape Town, Durban Super Giants, Johannesburg Super Kings, Paarl Royals, Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape — were allowed a maximum of five signings before the auctions. At the auctions, teams had to complete a 17-member roster respectively for the upcoming season with a maximum of seven overseas players in each squad.

The players were divided into three base price categories — Rand 1,750,000, Rand 1,700,000 and Rand 850,000. The franchises had an overall purse of US$2 million.

Apart from Stubbs, South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw and Wayne Parnell were in for a big payday as they were bought by the Pretoria Capitals for Rand 6.9 and 5.6 million respectively. The Jansen brothers, Marco and Duan, also had a good day. Sunrisers snapped up Marco at Rand 6.1 million, MI Cape Town dished out 3.3 million for Duan.

Uncapped batter Donavon Ferreira also created headlines. He had a base price of Rand 175,000, but the 24-year-old was bought by Super Kings for Rand 5.5 million.
