New Delhi, December 20, 2022: The latest offering in the world of domestic T20 leagues — SA20 — will have a total prize purse of 70 million rand (Rs 33.5 crore approx), the biggest purse in the history of South African franchise cricket.
The franchise-based tournament, scheduled to be held from Jan 10 till Feb 11 next year, is a six-team affair with all the sides backed by Indian Premier League franchises.
“We have worked hard to offer a rewarding and unprecedented incentive in the first season of SA20. This is a first for South African cricket, we have never had this type of competitive incentive in our domestic cricket and it is a further indication of SA20’s ambitions to positively impact South African cricket,” said SA20 league commissioner, Graeme Smith, in a statement on Tuesday.
