Markram, De Kock, Maharaj Amongst Marquee Names To Headline SA20 Player Auction
ICC World Test Championship: South Africa’s leading cricketers Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Keshav Maharaj, and a host of international stars will go under the hammer when the SA20 season four player auction takes place in Johannesburg on September 9.
With more than 500 players shortlisted for the auction, the six franchises will finalise their 19-member squads ahead of the tournament, which begins on December 26. In a statement on Monday, SA20 announced that it received a record 800-plus player registrations—the highest in its four-year history—before the list was reduced to 541 following franchise reviews.
The final player auction pool comprises 300 South African cricketers and 241 overseas players. Markram, South Africa’s T20I captain, headlines the South African contingent, which also features de Kock, Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Reeza Hendricks, Tabraiz Shamsi, Ottneil Baartman, and Gerald Coetzee.
