What is SA T20
January will become the window for the South Africa T20 league which will comprise of six privately owned franchises playing each other in a double round format before the top three sides move to the play-off stages.
“We are excited by the formation of something this fresh and invigorating, which also offers the opportunity for private investment into the franchises,” said Pholetsi Moseki, CSA CEO.
“CSA has already received interest from a number of potential local and international investors,” he said.
Moseki emphasised that this is an entirely new event, adding that South Africa has a rich crop of talent who would benefit from exposure through a franchise league.
He said that a sustainable business model had been created for both the league and the teams, with a healthy salary bill to attract the very best local and international players.
