There remains a strong core of players in DSG’s squad from the inaugural SA20 last year, and they have bolstered their squad in the right areas according to captain Keshav Maharaj.
“I think the balance of the squad is a lot better than it was last season,” Maharaj said. “We’ve gone with more specialists this year and we know that we have world-class performers in our ranks.

“We’ve got players that have won trophies, so that experience and that winning mentality is in our squad. It’s now about us hitting our straps and making sure we are following our processes and are clear about what we want to do on the field,” Maharaj said.
Meanwhile League Commissioner, Graeme Smith said he expects to stage an even bigger and better ‘Sportainment’ experience for the South African public as season 2 of the SA20 gets underway.
“In my opinion, the teams look much stronger than in Season 1. There is incredible local talent and some superstars from around the world that have joined us. We know the competitive nature of the six franchises and we expect the cricketing stories to be fantastic again.
“And then the fans an event like this can’t be at this level without people coming into the grounds and supporting their teams and having a fantastic time with us over the next few weeks. A lot of hard work has gone into getting this platform ready. We want people to come out and have a wonderful time with us. If it is a Tuesday night at 5:30pm, then anyone in the country can have a great time. It’s catered for everyone.”
