The inaugural edition of Cricket South Africa’s new T20 League SA20 is scheduled to Start on January 10, 2023. A total of six teams will participate in the competition – MI Cape Town, Durban Super Giants, Johannesburg Super Kings, Paarl Royals, Pretoria Capitals, and Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis has opined that the league will help the youngsters participating in it to improve.
“I think South African cricket has been crying out for this for a long time. I think we’ve seen the wonderful job it’s (franchise league cricket) done around the world in terms of how the local competition has improved cricket. I have no doubt it’s going to be the same here and everyone is looking forward to it. The standard will be very high,” Kallis said.
“Having international players and coaches is also certainly going to provide a good product. It is going to improve the young guys coming through. With everything being televised, it’s a great opportunity for the guys to put their name out there, whether it be for international cricket or other leagues around the world. What better stage for these young guys to put their hand up in this competition?” added Kallis.
Kallis will be the Coach of Pretoria Capitals franchise in the competition.
