Experience the excitement of the SA20 2025 season as the full squads are finalized following a thrilling auction in Cape Town. Discover which players were sold, the biggest bids, and how each franchise has strengthened its lineup for the upcoming tournament starting January 9, 2025.
Among the standout moments was Reeza Hendricks, who emerged as the most expensive player of the auction, fetching an impressive R4.3 million from MI Cape Town. His explosive batting capabilities are expected to play a crucial role in MI’s campaign. The fierce competition for Hendricks highlighted the growing stakes in T20 leagues and the increasing value of top-tier players in South African cricket.
Other notable signings included Richard Gleeson, who was picked up by Sunrisers Eastern Cape for R2.3 million, and Evin Lewis, who joined Pretoria Capitals for R1.5 million. The auction not only filled team rosters but also showcased the strategic moves made by franchises to enhance their squads with both local and international talent.
Each team now boasts a mix of seasoned players and emerging stars. For instance, MI Cape Town has secured a formidable lineup with players like Ben Stokes and Kagiso Rabada alongside Hendricks. Similarly, Joburg Super Kings’ squad features established names like Faf du Plessis and Jonny Bairstow, promising an exciting blend of experience and youth.
The structure of the squads is also noteworthy; each franchise must include a minimum of ten South African players while allowing for a maximum of seven overseas players. This balance aims to promote local talent while still attracting global cricketing stars, enhancing the overall quality of the league.
As fans eagerly await the start of the season, they can look forward to a total of 34 matches featuring these dynamic squads. The anticipation is palpable as teams prepare to battle for supremacy in what promises to be one of the most competitive seasons yet.
