England’s Dani Gibson Scoops £190,000 Payday at Inaugural Hundred Auction
The auction introduced an aggressive bidding system with contracts soaring from a previous £65,000 cap to £210,000 for Devine and Mooney, marking a major investment surge.
- On Wednesday, Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney each secured deals worth 210,000; Devine joins Welsh Fire, Mooney signs with Trent Rockets.
- With women's squads carrying £880,000, stakes in the eight city-based franchises were sold to private investors, prompting auction-based player selection.
- Multiple six-figure deals included Dani Gibson for 190,000 to Sunrisers Leeds and Nadine de Klerk for 170,000, among others.
- The auction's results immediately affect preseason planning as Wednesday's auction comes months before the 2026 Hundred starts on July 21, 2026, while Dani Gibson is already at the England training camp in South Africa.
- The spending surge highlights a huge uplift from the previous top salary band of £65,000 and last summer's cap of £65,000, with four franchises part-owned by IPL-linked companies.
