The player auction for The Hundred women's will be held on March 11 - here’s all the live updates, latest news and full squads for each team.
The first-ever The Hundred auction will be held across two days - on March 11 and 12, with the women's auction to be held on the first day. All eight teams have previously announced their direct signings and retention ahead of the event, with four women's teams choosing to make three pre-auction signings, and the others using the full quota of four signings/retentions.
The women’s teams with four pre-auction signings had £360,000 taken off their budget of £880,000, while the remaining four sides signed/retained three and had £310,000 deducted from their auction pot.
