The Australian opening batsman was one of Brave’s two £125,000 picks in last night’s player auction along with West Indian Andre Russell. Brave already had one £100,000 pick in the shape of Hampshire captain James Vince, and they chose his county colleague Liam Dawson as their second in that salary bracket. Warner and Vince are the only two players in the Brave squad who will play primarily as batsmen. Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan was Brave’s second £75,000 choice - they had already selected Sussex seamer Chris Jordan as their first at the official unveiling of the tournament a fortnight ago. Left-arm seam bowler Tymal Mills (Sussex) and Worcestershire’s Ross Whiteley were Brave’s two £60,000 selections. England batsman Ollie Pope, who can also keep wicket, was one of the two £50,000 picks along with Sussex batsman Delroy Rawlins. Sussex all-rounder George Garton and Lancashire batsman/keeper Alex Davies were the two £40,000 selections. Completing the Brave’s 14-man squad were Somerset pair Max Waller and Craig Overton, who will be paid £30,000 apiece.

In addition to Vince and Jordan, Brave had also snapped up seamer Jofra Archer as their England centrally contracted player prior to last night’s auction. Elsewhere, former Hampshire captain Shane Warne selected current Ageas Bowl duo Kyle Abbott and Mason Crane for his London Spirit franchise. Across the capital, Hampshire duo Rilee Roussow and Chris Wood will take their place in the Oval Invincibles squad.
