On September 27, the SA20 auction 2024 was held, with six franchises completing their squads and filling the open positions. In the mini-auction, which was held in Johannesburg, players from several nations bid on items.
It's interesting that at the SA20 auction 2024, no Sri Lankan players received contracts. The Durban Super Giants pre-signed Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dilshan Madushanka, but no offers were made for players like Chamika Karunaratne, Akila Dananajaya, or Nuwanindu Fernando.
Matthew Boast and Dayyan Galiem were the picks that cost the most money. Boast joined Pretoria Capitals for 69.36 lakh, while Galiem joined Joburg Super Kings for the same amount.
Romario Shepherd, an all-around player from the Caribbean, was sold to the Super Kings for 36.85 lakh rupees, while Wayne Madsen was also acquired by JSK for the same sum. Bayers Swanepoel cost the Sunrisers Eastern Cape team 26 lakh.
