SA20 2025 Auction Key Players and Franchises Ahead of the January 9 Clash
The SA20 2025 will commence on January 9, clashing with Australia’s Big Bash League, UAE’s ILT20, and New Zealand’s Super Smash.
115 South African players will be participating in the auction alongside international players from 14 different countries.
It’s worth noting that among almost 200 players in the auction, only 13 players will be picked to join six franchise teams.
Besides Naseem Shah, the SA20 auction will feature notable international players like Shamar Joseph, Josh Little, Saqib Mahmood, Qais Ahmad, and Kamindu Mendis.
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith, who is serving as the commissioner of SA20, expressed optimism and enthusiasm for the upcoming edition.
“Some of the biggest names on the international T20 circuit have already signed up for season 3 and I am looking forward to seeing how the teams finalize their squads from this competitive auction list of players,” he stated.
