SA20 Auction: Updated SA20 squads for 2025 edition

SA20 Auction: The auctions for the third season of the SA20 league took place on Tuesday, October 1 in Cape Town. MI Cape Town made the most expensive purchase of the auction as they roped in South African opener Reeza Hendricks for a sum of R4.30m after winning a bidding war with Pretoria Capitals.

While MI made the costliest purchase, two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape broke bank for England speedster Richard Gleeson, picking him for R2.3m. West Indies sensation, Shamar Joseph was not picked in the initial round but was later roped in by the Durban Super Giants, who were mostly quite at the auction table.

A total of 188 cricketers were up for grabs, including 115 South Africans. But with only 13 spots to be filled apart from six rookies, several big players did not find any takers. There were no bids for the likes of Temba Bavuma, Josh Little and Tony de Zorzi, among others.
