Sa20 squads

Rassie Van Der Dussen: Graeme Smith, the former South Africa captain currently serving as SA20 League Commissioner, said he is thrilled with the exceptional world-class players like Joe Root and Dinesh Karthik featuring in season three of the tournament starting on January 9, 2025.

“With international stars like Dinesh Karthik, Ben Stokes, Kane Williamson, Joe Root, Trent Boult, Johnny Bairstow, Devon Conway, Zak Crawley, Rashid Khan and Rahmanullah Gurbaz committing to their respective SA20 teams, the hard work that the League and franchises have put in to create a world-class experience has paid off and we thank everyone involved for their monumental efforts,” said Smith in a statement.

The six franchises confirmed their retained and pre-signed players on Friday, with the player auction for season three of the competition will be held in Cape Town on October 1.
