But not what they are going to get this year.

Those that were on the higher brackets are going to earn more and those on the lower brackets are going to stagnate.

Seren isn’t a middle order player, and there are better top order than her.

None of the ones you’ve mentioned are come in and hit 10/11 an over players, we don’t really have those players in the set up

The 4 direct signings will be upto 360k in total, which is 41% of the pot, which leaves you with 520k across 14 players.
That gives you if everyone got paid exactly the same (which they won’t), avg 37k each.

Who you picking then that could replace them?
October 31, 2025 at 2:26 PM
But they won’t be getting 48k each.

The disparity between the top and bottom is going to grow further than it did with price brackets

Remember what Shakespeare said

“They are as sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing”

I could not care less about the mens Hundred.
They have vast opportunities to earn money all year round, the women do not and once again get sidelined for the men.

If they had any real concern for womens game they would have not increased the mens salary pot by 45%

Not increased the number of overseas to take large portion of the pot and had a disparity of 80% between mens and womens

But you won’t have average of 50k per player.

Remember by the time it even comes to the auction, the direct signings, who have to be overseas or England contract, will have happened taking the biggest chunk of the pot, so those left will earn even less

Well it’s not.
You’ve increase the mens pot by 45% and womens by 100% yet there is still around an 80% difference between the two squads

And with the increased squad size the Real world value has decreased.
