Liam Livingstone was the big winner of the IPL draft when a bidding war led to his £1.12million move to Punjab Kings.
The Lancashire all-rounder became the most expensive overseas buy of 2022 after Punjab were joined by Kolkata, Chennai and Gujarat in a battle to sign him.
But it was Punjab who got the hard-hitting Livingstone in an auction featuring other big-money moves for English players.
Fast bowler Mark Wood was signed by Lucknow Super Giants for £731,250 while Jonny Bairstow also joined Punjab for £658,125.
And there was a surprise when Jofra Archer went to Mumbai Indians for £781,566, even though he is not expected to play after elbow surgery.
