    Shrachi Tribes Rarh Tigers: Mita Paul emerged as the highest Women’s pick at ₹3 lakh as the Bengal T20 League completed its biggest-ever player auction with franchises spending over ₹4.5 crore across their Men’s and Women's teams. More than 250 players secured contracts from an auction pool of over 1000 cricketers ahead of the 2026 season.

    Across the two auctions, franchises completed 136 player signings in the men’s and 128 player signings in the women’s team. Every men’s franchise assembled a 17-player squad with the mandatory inclusion of at least two U19 players. In comparison, every women’s team completed a 16-player squad featuring at least two U15 players, strengthening the league’s focus on long-term grassroots development.

    The first-ever Men’s Auction in Bengal T20 League history produced several high-value signings, with IPL and India all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed emerging as the most expensive player at ₹12.20 lakh after being retained by Shrachi Tribes Rarh Tigers through RTM. Multiple players crossed the ₹8 lakh mark as franchises aggressively competed for Bengal’s leading domestic performers, IPL talent, and emerging prospects.
