The auction also produced some major deals, with England wicketkeeper-batter Jordan Cox emerging as the most expensive player. He was picked up by Welsh Fire for £300,000.
London, March 12: The inaugural auction for The Hundred 2026 saw several big signings, but Pakistan stars Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf failed to attract bids and went unsold on Thursday. The internet users and cricketing fans are reacting after the Pakistani cricketers went unsold at the auction and are speculating that they might be picked up by any franchise later.
An internet user shared the news on social media and said, "ONE MORE PAKISTANI PLAYER HARIS RAUF ENTERS THE FIELD TO TROLL INDIA • Haris Rauf goes unsold in The Hundred auction Now ,Haris Rauf is a unemployed it will not surprising if Haris Rauf starts trolling india on social media for money."
Another user said, "HARIS RAUF GOES UNSOLD. Haris Rauf goes unsold at #TheHundredAuction, a surprising moment for the Pakistan speedster."
A fan slammed the England Cricket Board and said, "Haris Rauf has picked up 16 wickets in 12 matches with an economy of 6.8 in The Hundred. With this impressive record, him getting ignored in the Hundred Auction even on the base price is nothing but a discrimination against Pakistani players due to the Indian owners. Shame on you @englandcricket!!!"
