England's Ben Stokes sold for almost £1.4m in the Indian Premier League auction but Test captain Joe Root went unsold in the first round of bidding.
Stokes, who was named the most valuable player last year following a £1.7m contract with Rising Pune Supergiant, has joined Rajasthan Royals.
"Ben is a cricketer of today and a cricketer of the future," said Royals chief executive Ranjit Barthakur.
Chris Woakes fetched £820,000 from Royal Challengers Banglaore.
Jofra Archer, the 22-year-old Sussex all-rounder, was also signed by Rajasthan Royals as he went for £800,000.
Archer has been a success in Australia's T20 franchise competition, the Big Bash, and although born in West Indies, wants to play his international cricket for England.

There are currently more Afghanistan players bought by IPL franchises (4), than Sri Lanka (zero), Bangladesh (2) and Zimbabwe (zero) combined.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
