A day after being appointed as SA20 league ambassador, former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik signed up with Paarl Royals for the 2025 edition of the tournament as a player. Karthik, who retired from Indian cricket following IPL 2024, is currently working as a commentator in the Hundred.
Both Joe Root and Ben Stokes missed the Indian Premier League 2024 season to focus on red-ball cricket but are set to return to T20 franchise leagues through the SA20 2025. Paarl Royals announce Joe Root's signing months before the start of the third edition of the tournament.
The second edition of the SA20 is proving to be a colossal hit already with just 11 games being played so far. With the matches being close and entertaining and fans coming in numbers, it has been a spectacle that everyone in South Africa just can't get enough of.
Paarl's Boland Park will be hosting Paarl Royals and Pretoria Capitals in the third match of the SA20 2024 on Friday. The Capitals won the last two encounters against the Royals last season but the latter have a home advantage going into this game.
The second edition of the SA20 will kick off on Wednesday, January 10 with the defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings. After the success of the inaugural edition and a T20 World Cup to follow a few months later, there are a lot more eyeballs on SA20 this time around.
