SA20 2024 All Teams Squad, Captains, Coach & Players List

Cricket South Africa came under severe criticism this year interms of the SA20 League when all of their key players were omitted from the South Africa Tour of New Zealand 2024 which has test matches scheduled due to its clash with the league. Many International superstars like Rohit Sharma also emphasized the fact that it is every board’s responsibility to give importance to the test format. CSA T20 League last year was re-branded to SA20 League with new investors and the inaugural edition was a good success. This year SA20 League 2024 will be its 2nd edition and all the franchises have already picked many of their great local and International cricketers for the SA20 2024 all-team squad for this league. The SA20 schedule has also been announced by the cricket board a few weeks ago which shows the tournament is scheduled to start on 10th January 2024.

Who will WIN SA20 2024?

T20 is a fast-paced format we all know and there are no clear favorites as we have seen teams in the recently concluded ICC Men’s World T20 where the Netherlands knocked out South Africa while Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan. But looking at the SA20 2024 all teams squad on paper it looks like Joburg Super Kings & Paarl Royals are possibly the two most favorite franchises for the tournament. 

Super Kings have players like Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Lewis Gregory, Reeza Hendricks & Janneman Malan who on their lucky day can easily win the franchise a game on their own while Paarl Royals have too many stars lined up example David Miller, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, Lungi Ngidi, Jason Roy & Tabraiz Shamsi who with the amount of experience and firepower are by far the toughest opponent to beat in this tournament.
