Devine and Mooney Top Bids in Women’s Hundred 2026 Auction

Sophie Devine of New Zealand and Australia’s Beth Mooney emerged as the top signings in the inaugural auction for the women’s The Hundred, each securing deals worth £210,000.

Devine will represent Welsh Fire, while Mooney was picked by Trent Rockets. England all-rounder Dani Gibson became the highest-paid English player after joining Sunrisers Leeds for £190,000. Meanwhile, South Africa’s Nadine de Klerk was signed by London Spirit for £170,000.

The landmark auction, held in London, marked a major shift for women’s cricket with significantly increased salary caps ahead of the 2026 season starting in July.
