The explosive batter from England was bought by Punjab at 11.5 crores. The right-hander entered at the auction at a base price of one crore. He has reputation of being a hard-hitter of the ball. Last year, in the inaugural season of the The Hundred, he was the highest six hitter. Talking about his ITL numbers, the Lancashire-player has played only nine games for Rajasthan in 2019 and 2021 seasons. He has mustered only 113 runs striking at 126.96 and averaging 14.11. Not to forget, he was found wanting on slow pitches of the UAE last year.

Just like Livingstone, he has a reputation of hitting big in the shortest format with a strike rate of 158.5 in T20Is. However, he is highly untested in the Indian subcontinent condition with only one game last year.

The left-arm medium pacer was bought by Delhi for 5.25 crores. He entered the auction at a base price of 50 lakhs. From 2018 to 2021, he played only 24 games for Hyderabad. However, he has picked 32 wickets but his economy rate of 8.68 suggests that he needs to work on his bowling.
