Big payday for Jansen brothers too, but South Africa captains Dean Elgar and Temba Bavuma go unsold.

[Tabraiz Shamsi](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/tabraiz-shamsi-379145)who were the first two players to go under the hammer. Daryn Dupavillon, who can hit speeds upwards of 140kph and is presently with Trinbago Knight Riders at the CPL, earned a deal worth Rand 1.7 million with Capitals. In IPL 2022, [Mumbai Indians signed him up](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2022-tristan-stubbs-replaces-injured-tymal-mills-in-mumbai-indians-squad-1313634)as a replacement for the injured Tymal Mills when he was still an uncapped player. Stubbs can also keep wicket, if needed, and he is open to doing any job for Sunrisers in the SA20. They outbid Super Kings and got the left-arm seam-bowling allrounder for Rand 5.6 million (USD 316,000 approx). Having listed his base price at Rand 175,000 (USD 10,000 approx.), the 24-year-old, who can also bowl, was eventually snapped up by Super Kings for Rand 5.5 million (USD 310,000 approx.) in the accelerated round of the auction. [Wayne Parnell](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/wayne-parnell-265564), another Kolpak returnee, also triggered a bidding war, which was won by Capitals. I do feel I have more experience and I have played more cricket in different situations. Marco is already part of the Sunrisers franchise (Hyderabad) in the IPL while Duan was recently with the Mumbai Indians development squad that had toured the UK. Stubbs then joined Manchester Originals for the Hundred where his part-time offspin was also matched up with left-hand batters. [Donavon Ferreira](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/donavon-ferreira-698315), who plays for Titans, also created a big stir. Sunrisers Eastern Cape won a fierce bidding war against MI Cape Town and Jo'burg Super Kings to snap up their homegrown hero.

But the two players who were sold for the most money are South African players, who rose from a low base. The Joburg Super Kings were among the big spenders on the day spending R4.5 million for Proteas limited-overs top-order batter Reeza Hendricks, R2.7 million for Janneman Malan and R2.1 million for English star batter Harry Brooks fetched R2.1 million. Other South African players who cost an arm and a leg are George Linde, who was auctioned off at R3.9 million to MI Cape Town and fellow national team spinner Keshav Maharaj, who was snapped up for R2.5 million by the Durban Super Giants. It was a good day generally for South African players with Rassie van der Dussen being snapped up for R3.9 million by the MI Cape Town. The Durban Super Giants also got in on the act with a R4.1 million signing of Proteas all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius, and R4.5 million on Heinrich Klaasen. All the players who fetched a high price were bought from a base price of R175 000 (the lowest of the auction). “About 315 players put their names in the hat and it was up to the teams to decide on their strategies. It was tense on the auction floor for a moment and, after discussions with the SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith, the Joburg Super Kings prevailed and snatched Ferreira for R5.5 million. There was late drama towards the end of the auction as the Joburg Super Kings and the Pretoria Capitals entered into a bidding war for Donavon Ferreira. From a low base price of R175 000, at the tail end of the auction, Ferreira’s sale was astounding. Proteas leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was the first player to dip over R4 million as he joined Ngidi at the Royals for R4.3 million. The Gqebhera-based Sunrisers were the biggest buyers on the day, snapping up another local, Sisanda Magala, for R5.4 million and R2.3 million for Jon-Jon Smuts.

“It was up to the teams to decide on their strategy. [He is] important for us and the left-hander factor is always important, particularly at the top of the order,” said head coach Ford. “When it comes to this sort of thing everybody has a similar shopping list and you can’t necessarily get the guys you really want. I said to the guys here, I’ve got two sons at home, but I also feel like I’ve got a third son here in South Africa with Tristan. “We knew that some of the other teams had big budgets. “I just worked with [Stubbs] at the Hundred in Manchester. Playing at St George’s will be really cool,” said Stubbs. I am open to whatever the team needs.” “Very cool to be playing with ‘Plank’ … A month out from the T20 World Cup, South African captain Temba Bavuma went unsold in the auction at his base of R850,000 in the second set of the day and again in the express round at the end of the day. “Really exciting for us and everybody knows what a good player he’s become… “I didn’t want to watch it, but I was forced to watch it,” Stubbs said of the bidding war at the SA20 auction.

Tristan Stubbs is hoping to 'put on a spectacle for everyone' after being the most expensive buy – R9.2-million – at the inaugural SA20 auction on Monday.

Playing at St George’s will be really cool,” Stubbs said. “Very cool to be playing with ‘Plank’ … I am open to whatever the team needs.” “It is just awesome to be a part of this tournament. “It is crazy! “I didn’t want to watch it, but I was forced to watch it,” Stubbs said of the bidding war at the SA20 auction.

Maybe that will just drive people that didn't get bought a little bit harder for next year." "There are plenty of players who missed out today, it goes to show how competitive it is. But there was little interest in the Proteas captain as teams splurged their cash on some big and little-known South African stars. Some of the South African boys are competing with franchises that felt like they should go with an overseas player... We've had plans to get certain players and that changed if someone comes cheaper than you expect," Katich told reporters on Monday. - Proteas T20 captain Temba Bavuma was the notable player to go unsold at the SA20 auction at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on Monday.

We have seen how the IPL has strengthened the base of Indian cricket across the board. A lot of work went into setting this up and getting it ready, so seeing the six franchise owners sitting at their tables ready to invest in SA players was exciting. “I said in my speech that from a South African perspective, SA20 is a platform where we want to put 60 to 70 players on a global platform every season and that is exciting.

South Africa's SA20 competition held its first player auction on Monday and here are the four things we learned about T20 cricket.

Six teams were involved, each needing to fill a squad with 17 players who’ll be in action in the competition in January next year. We all know how effective Imran Tahir was for the Proteas, and on Monday all of South Africa’s leading slow bowlers found a home — Bjorn Fortuin (R1.5m), Tabraiz Shamsi (R4.3m), Keshav Maharaj (R2.5m), Simon Harmer (R200,000) and George Linde (R3.9m). It may be a game of big hitters, but spin bowling has become just as big a deal in the shortest format of the game. South Africa’s Marco Jansen (R6.1 million), a now established Test player, has proved himself with bat and ball and he too, will be part of the SA20. They say it’s a game for the batsmen and so it proved yet again with rookie South African batters Tristan Stubbs (R9.2 million) and Donovan Ferreira (R5.5 million) being highly sought-after. Over 300 players put their names in the hat, and when the dust had settled South African, and worldwide, cricket fans had a good idea of the wants and needs in T20 cricket.
