Some teams still had money left over, and all 5 teams bought more players than the minimum number required (15, which is still way more than what is needed for the length of this tournament). That would suggest base price wasn't the reason those players (King, Wellington, Glenn etc.) missed out.I also wonder if a few of those unsold Internationals may have placed their starting price one or two rungs too high...AJ Wellington who isn't a regular set her base price at 40 lakh, which is the same base price for King who's become a regular for Aus but that's been over the last 15 months
You then compare with with King's squad teammates in who got picked up in Harris, Graham, Sutherland & Wareham - who all had a base price of 30 lakh, we saw bidding wars on all bar Graham who went for her base price.
Sometimes you're better off starting a little lower & seeing what happens, rather than pricing yourself out from the start - I feel that happened with a few players who may have got in at those higher prices at year or two ago, but now others presented as better options
