List of 2023–24 SA20 auctions and personnel signings

This is a list of all auctions and personnel signings for the 2024 SA20 Cricket Tournament.

Background

 * For season 2, the salary cap had been increased by R5100000 to per team.
 * Each team has 19 player slots to select for their final squad. From the 19, each team has to select one wildcard and one rookie player.
 * Similar to the previous season, each team has to pick a minimum of ten South African players.

Pre-signed and retained players
All South African players bought at 2022–23 SA20 auction were on 2-year contracts. Teams had the option to retain, trade or buy out these players.

Auction results
A total of 257 players (135 South Africa and 122 Overseas) entered their name in the auction pool with only 25 open places. During the main auction, 15 players were sold along with 6 rookie players were drafted.

Rookie picks
A rookie is a South African player aged 22 or younger on the day of the auction and who has not been previously drafted in the SA20 League.

All six teams were mandated to select a player from the rookie draft. A player meeting the definition of a Rookie could be bought in the regular auction stage, however, if not chosen in the regular auction, they became eligible for the rookie draft, which took place at the end of the regular auction. If a franchise already had a player in the squad that met the definition of a rookie player, that player did not count as the rookie player as far as this provision was concerned.

Each rookie player had a set value of R75,000, which was deducted from the team’s available salary cap prior to the auction to ensure that the rookie Fee was sufficiently catered for by each Franchise. The standard regulations pertaining to squad composition, salary cap, and base prices applied. The order of selection of the rookie draft was in reverse order of the final position of each team in the previous season.
