Faf du Plessis to lead Joburg Super Kings in South Africa T20 league

Faf du Plessis will lead the Joburg Super Kings in the inaugural edition of the South Africa T20 league. This team was bought by the same group that owns the Chennai Super Kings, hence the name.

In a recent interview with CSK, he expressed his excitement to continue his relationship with the CSK group, with whom he won the IPL titles in 2018 and 2021.

The Joburg captain feels that the South African T20 league would take his home country's cricket to a new height, like the Indian Premier League (IPL) in India.

“I have an extremely lucky and long relationship with Chennai. When the opportunity presented itself again, I was extremely happy with that. I think it's (the SA20 league) going to be incredibly crucial for the sustainability of South African cricket.”

Joburg Super Kings squad for SA20: Faf du Plessis (captain), Maheesh Theekshana, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Harry Brook, Janneman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Kyle Verreynne, George Garton, Alzarri Joseph, Leus du Plooy, Lewis Gregory, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Donavon Ferreira, Malusi Siboto and Caleb Seleka.
