Hendricks goes to MI Cape Town as biggest auction buy

Reeza Hendricks became the biggest buy in the SA20 Auction for the 2025 season. He was picked up by MI Cape Town for R4.3 million. Hendricks previously played for the Jo'burg Super Kings and has been CSA's T20 player of the year as well. He also scored two fifties in the series against Ireland recently. Cape Town fought off Pretoria Capitals who ran out of money in the purse eventually, allowing the former to sign the star opener.

The next biggest buy was England pacer Richard Gleeson, picked up by Sunrisers Eastern Cape for R2.3 million.

A total of 13 players were bought in the auction. Alongside the buys in the auction, there were also six rookie picks (South African players aged 22 or below) made by franchises to round off their squads for the season.
