SA20 Auction Live Updates: List of players sold, unsold, purse remaining, updated squads

That fourth edition of the SA20 auction will take place on September 9. Even though it isn’t levelled as a mega auction, per se, several marquee cricketers will go under the hammer. Two-time SA20-winning captain Aiden Markram is one such player. After winning back-to-back seasons with Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the all-rounder decided to put himself on the auction table, with the hope of getting a higher pay. 

On the other hand, one of South Africa’s greatest white-ball openers, Quinton de Kock is also available in the auction. Dewald Brevis, who has made a tremendous impact in international cricket as of late, can be one of the costliest players in the auction. Among international stars, James Anderson, Shakib Al Hasan, Moeen Ali, Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, among others, are available for selection.
