BENGALURU, India, CMC – Explosive Barbadian all-rounder Jofra Archer has landed a million-dollar deal in the lucrative Indian Premier League, after he was snapped up by Rajasthan Royals on the opening day of the auction here yesterday.
The 22-year-old, who has played only 20 first class matches but is yet to feature in an international, was secured on a US$1.13 million contract to become the most expensive Caribbean player purchased.
There was no such luck for West Indies superstar opener Chris Gayle, however, who went unsold after entering at a base price of $314 600.
