The Indian Premier League auction was suspended on Saturday after auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed on stage during the proceedings.
The British auctioneer, 62, was hosting the 2022 event in Bengalaru and was controlling the bidding for the third set of players when he suddenly collapsed, leaving the spectators and onlooking teams terrified.
Edmeades was considered to be stable by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who temporarily halted the auction, with the reason for his collapse believed to be blood pressure.
The auction is set to resume at 3:30pm local time (10am GMT), with Edmeades set to be involved at the end of the auction, with Charu Sharma taking over the bidding.
