A group of 23 cricket players from Bangladesh have signed up for The Hundred Auction 2026, scheduled to be held at the Piccadilly Lights in central London on March 11 and 12.
Leading the pack is fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman with a base price of £100,000. Following closely is leg-spinner Rishad Hossain with a base price of £75,000, while the remaining 21 players have a base price of £31,000 each.
Bangladesh has never had representation in this league, which has been in operation since 2021.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) disclosed the roster of players for the upcoming auction on Friday. This year, close to 1000 players from 18 nations have enlisted.
Before the auction, each of the eight participating teams will furnish a list of around 75-100 players they wish to acquire. These selections will then be compiled into a longlist of about 200 players who will be up for bidding.
Among the Bangladeshi players entering The Hundred Auction 2026 are Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Jaker Ali, Litton Das, Mahedi Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Saif Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Ripon Mondol, Mohammad Naim, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Taijul Islam, Shamim Hossain Patwary, Parvez Hossain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Sabbir Rahman, and Soumya Sarkar.
