The South Africa Cricket Board has appointed former South African cricket team captain Graeme Smith as the commissioner for its upcoming T20 Cricket League South Africa. CSA has made its official announcement. The special thing is that all the teams of this T20 League SA in South Africa have been bought by the owners of the IPL teams.
Let us remind you that the former captain of South Africa Cricket team, Graeme Smith has played ‘Rajasthan Royals RR’ in the IPL. Apart from this, he also did commentary in IPL. Significantly, Graeme Smith has been a great cricketer. CSA hopes that they will play a big role in establishing this T20 League SA in South Africa.
It is worth noting that the economic condition of the Cricket South Africa board is not good, it depends on the mutual cooperation of the cricket boards of countries like India. Due to Corona, his condition got worse. With a view to strengthening its financial position and making cricket more popular, CSA decided to start the T20 League.
If this cricket league of South Africa is called mini IPL then it will not be wrong. The reason for this is that its founder is Sundar Raman, the former CEO of IPL. Also, all 6 teams of this league have been bought by the franchise owners of IPL.
