England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) one-of-a-kind league, The Hundred tournament is set to witness its first-ever player auction ahead of the 2026 edition. The tournament which is scheduled to be played in July-August this year, will hold its maiden auction for the men’s event on Thursday, March 12 at the Piccadilly Lights in Central London.
