Will Smeed

Will Smeed is an English cricketer who plays for Somerset in domestic cricket. He represents the Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred. He also became the first player to slam a ton (101* off 50 balls) on August 2022 in The Hundred. He announced himself when he scored 82 runs off 49 balls in only his second game in the Vitality Blast.

The English players are dominating the list of the 405 players who have registered their names for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 auction (which will take place on December 23). England have won the T20 World Cup 2022 so their chances of filling up the 30 slots seem to be more.

But Smeed hasn’t earned his call-up for the national side yet. His impressive knocks in the recent matches can prove a bonus and he can even prompt a bidding war. He registered his name for a base price of INR 40 lakh.
