Fazalhaq Farooqi became the most expensive player in ILT20 auction history, but another feature of the day was equally striking as some of Pakistan’s biggest cricket names were secured without a bidding contest.
ILT20 Season 5 player auction produced record spending in Dubai, with four players going beyond the previous auction record of $260,000.
Afghanistan fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi commanded the biggest fee of the day, with MI Emirates paying $380,000 to bring him back for another season. England all-rounder Liam Livingstone was signed by Gulf Giants for $350,000, while the same franchise used its Right-to-Match option to secure Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz for $310,000.
Dubai Capitals completed the quartet of record-breaking deals by signing former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis for $300,000.
The figures demonstrated how quickly prices can rise when franchises compete for the same player. But elsewhere in the auction, a very different market was operating.
Why Babar Azam's $80,000 ILT20 price needs context?
Pakistan's Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan were all signed by defending champions Desert Vipers for $80,000 each.
For Babar, one of the most recognisable players in world cricket, it will be a first appearance in the ILT20. Fakhar and Naseem return after being part of the Vipers' previous season, while Shadab adds another experienced Pakistan international to the squad.
Viewed only as numbers on an auction sheet, the contrast is significant: Farooqi cost $380,000, Livingstone $350,000 and Du Plessis $300,000, while four established Pakistan internationals went for $80,000 apiece.
That comparison, however, does not necessarily establish their relative market value.
An auction price is partly a product of competition. If several franchises want the same player, bidding can push the fee well beyond the reserve price. If only one franchise bids, there is no mechanism forcing that price upwards.
That distinction is particularly relevant to Pakistan's players in the ILT20.
Five franchises stayed out of the bidding for Pakistan's biggest names
Five of the ILT20's six franchises have Indian ownership, while Desert Vipers are owned by Lancer Capital, associated with American businessman Avram Glazer. Indian-owned sides have historically been reluctant to recruit Pakistan players amid the wider political and cricketing relationship between India and Pakistan. That dynamic was visible again at the Season 5 auction.
Desert Vipers were able to sign Babar, Fakhar, Naseem and Shadab at $80,000 each without the sort of bidding contest that drove several other leading international players into six-figure territory.
The result provides an important distinction when assessing Pakistan's auction numbers: $80,000 was the price at which the players were sold, but it should not automatically be read as an open-market valuation of their cricketing or commercial worth.
With five potential buyers effectively absent from the bidding for those players, Desert Vipers occupied an unusually strong position and get away with Pakistani player at base price and remained economical. It also gave the defending champions an opportunity to assemble a substantial Pakistan core for a combined $320,000, less than the $380,000 MI Emirates paid for Farooqi alone.
Usman Tariq provided the exception
There was one notable late departure from the pattern. Pakistan mystery spinner Usman Tariq initially went unsold before Abu Dhabi Knight Riders returned for him and secured him for his $80,000 reserve price during the later stages of the auction.
His signing meant five Pakistan players ultimately found teams: Babar, Fakhar, Naseem and Shadab at Desert Vipers, and Usman at Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
Usman's deal was significant because Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are part of the Knight Riders Group, making his recruitment a rare instance of an Indian-owned ILT20 franchise signing a Pakistan player in the current market.
Even then, there was no bidding escalation: he was signed at $80,000. The pattern therefore raises a broader question about how auction prices should be interpreted. In an auction where franchise ownership can influence which players attract bids, the final fee may reflect the number of willing bidders as much as the perceived quality of the cricketer.
UAE players attract strong competition
While Pakistan's established internationals largely remained at reserve price, UAE players enjoyed one of their strongest auctions. Muhammad Waseem set a new record for a UAE player after MI Emirates exercised their Right-to-Match option at $210,000.
Alishan Sharafu went to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders for $110,000, while Muhammad Rohid and Aayan Khan earned $95,000 deals with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Dubai Capitals respectively.
Desert Vipers used their RTM option to secure Khuzaima Bin Tanveer for $75,000, while Vriitya Aravind joined them for $70,000.
The investment reflects the growing importance of domestic players in squad construction as franchises balance international star power with the league's local-player requirements.
Associate players also find a market
Players from Associate nations were another prominent feature of the auction. USA's Amshi De Silva joined Abu Dhabi Knight Riders for $100,000, while Hassan Khan was picked up by Dubai Capitals for $90,000.
Scotland's Brandon McMullen joined Sharjah Warriorz for $80,000 and Namibia international David Wiese was signed by Gulf Giants for $70,000.
The spread of spending showed franchises looking beyond traditional Full Member markets when building their squads.
Gulf Giants spend heavily on international firepower
Gulf Giants were among the most aggressive bidders. Along with Livingstone's $350,000 deal and the $310,000 RTM for Gurbaz, they paid $230,000 for West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph.
Shamar Joseph was added for $80,000, with Afghanistan batter Ibrahim Zadran costing $65,000 and Namibia's Wiese $70,000. The franchise finished with an auction spend of $1.972m, second only to MI Emirates.
MI Emirates hit the $2m mark
MI Emirates ended the auction as the biggest spenders, committing $2m. Farooqi's record $380,000 contract led their business, with UAE captain Waseem retained for $210,000 and England fast bowler Chris Jordan signed for $170,000.
Afghanistan spinner Allah Ghazanfar returned through an RTM deal worth $150,000, while South Africa's Lizaad Williams cost $110,000 and England's James Coles $100,000.
Jonny Bairstow was another notable acquisition at $80,000 as Sharjah Warriorz build around English players. They concentrated much of their spending on an experienced English group. Richard Gleeson was their biggest purchase at $180,000, followed by Paul Walter at $110,000.
Adil Rashid, Tom Banton and Craig Overton were each signed for $80,000, while Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi commanded $140,000.
The strategy gives the Warriorz a strong English core alongside retained players including James Vince and Sikandar Raza.
What the ILT20 auction prices actually show
Farooqi's $380,000 contract will understandably dominate the headlines from the Season 5 auction. It represents a new ILT20 benchmark and illustrates the premium franchises were prepared to pay when competition intensified.
But the Pakistan deals reveal another side of the auction as Babar Azam going for $80,000 does not, by itself, mean the market decided he was worth less than players who attracted $100,000, $200,000 or $300,000 contracts. It means that, under the conditions of this particular auction, Desert Vipers were able to secure him at that price without a rival pushing the bid higher.
The same applies to Fakhar Zaman, Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan. For Desert Vipers, that could represent considerable value. Four established Pakistan internationals cost the franchise $320,000 combined, while individual players elsewhere crossed $300,000.
And there is already evidence that this recruitment route can work competitively. Pakistan players formed an important part of the Vipers side that won the previous ILT20 title, after similar ownership dynamics allowed the franchise access to Pakistan talent.
