LONDON, England, CMC – West Indies Women all-rounders Chinelle Henry and Deandra Dottin were both picked up in the first-ever Women’s Hundred auction here on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old Henry, whose base price was £ 27,500, was selected by MI London for £ 70,000 in the opening round. Henry will join her West Indies captain, Hayley Matthews, who was retained for the top price of £120, 000.
Meanwhile, Dottin, who turned out for the Manchester Originals last season, was selected by the London Spirit for £37, 500.
On Wednesday’s opening day, Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney topped the bidding, each securing a £210,000 payday, narrowly ahead of the biggest surprise of the morning, England allrounder Dani Gibson heading to Sunrisers Leeds for a whopping £190,000.
Devine will play for Welsh Fire as she enters the latter phase of her career at the age of 36, having relinquished the New Zealand T20 captaincy after lifting the World Cup in 2024 and retired from ODIs late last year.
Australian Mooney was the subject of a bidding war between Trent Rockets and Manchester Super Giants, with the Rockets winning her services as a consistently devastating batter and accomplished wicketkeeper.
