SA20 2023 All Teams Squad, Captains, Coach & Players List

In August this year, Cricket South Africa decided to revamp and rename CSA T20 League to SA20 League where six franchises will participate in the tournament. The SA20 auction event was held on 19th September where all franchises picked the top players available in the circuit to finalize SA20 2023 all teams squad. 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 2023. 

SA20 Complete Team Squads

Even though the tournament is being played on the same dates where other t20 competitions are also scheduled like ILT20, and Big Bash but franchises due to the auction are still able to get hold of many top International stars to finalize South Africa league teams squad. Have a look at the complete SA20 auction sold players list.

Captains & Coaches Announced

After the auction event of the SA20 League, all of the franchises revealed their captains and head coaches for the inaugural edition of the tournament. Below is a list of captains & coaches announced by the franchises. 

Team	Captain	Head Coach
Paarl Royals	David Miller	JP Duminy
Sunrisers Eastern Cape	Aiden Markram	Adrian Birrell
Durban Super Giants	Quinton de Kock	Lance Klusener
Pretoria Capitals	Wayne Parnell	Graham Ford
MI Cape Town	Rashid Khan	Simon Katich
Johannesburg Super Kings	Faf du Plessis	Stephen Fleming

With power-packed leaders announced for the inaugural edition of SA20, we expect the league to be highly competitive. Our favorite franchise is going to be Johannesburg Super Kings because of the fantastic star-studded lineup they have compiled together along with the cool and calm captain Faf du Plessis. 

Team Owners of SA20 Franchises

All six franchises in the SA20 League have been purchased by Indian investors who are already running teams in the World’s Top T20 League Indian Premier League. The process went on for months and months after a rigorous process adopted by Cricket South Africa to make sure there will be no hiccups later on. Below is the official SA20 team owners list. 

Successful Bidder	Venue, City
Reliance Industries Limited, owners of Mumbai Indians	Newlands, Cape Town
RPSG Sports Private Limited, owners of Lucknow SuperGiants	Kingsmead, Durban
Sun TV Network Limited, owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad	St George’s Park, Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth)
Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited, owners of Chennai Super Kings	Wanderers, Johannesburg
Royals Sports Group, owners of Rajasthan Royals	Boland Park, Paarl
JSW Sports, co-owners of Delhi Capitals	SuperSport Park, Pretoria

Who will WIN SA20 2023?

T20 is a fast pacing 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 2023 all teams squad on paper it looks like Johannesburg 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.
