With the domestic cricket season shifting focus to the upcoming inaugural edition of the Betway SA20, a number of Hollywoodbets Dolphins stars will be representing the various franchises in the competition which started on Tuesday, January 10.
The first match was a Western Cape derby between MI Cape Town and the Paarl Royals with both sides having Dolphins representation in their respective squads.
Grant Roelofsen was selected into the MI Cape Town squad during the auction, a side that will be led by Afghanistan star Rashid Khan.
In the Winelands, Dave Miller will lead the Paarl Royals for the competition while Dolphins all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo was the team’s wild card pick for the tournament.
Durban’s Super Giants have a strong Dolphins flavour with Prenelan Subrayen and Keshav Maharaj in the squad while former Dolphins Lance Klusener and Jonty Rhodes form part of the coaching staff.
The Pretoria Capitals begin their competition against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape side on Thursday, January 12 and a number of Dolphins could line up in that clash.
For the Capitals, Eathan Bosch and Daryn Dupavillon are in their squad while there are four Dolphins in the Sunrisers squad.
Jon-Jon Smuts, Marques Ackerman, Ottniel Baartman and SJ Erwee are amongst the players set to turn out for the side from Gqeberha.
Dolphins head coach Imraan Khan is excited by the prospect of his players rubbing shoulders with players from other provinces and countries.
“The SA20 is an exciting addition to the South African cricketing landscape, and we are looking forward to seeing our Dolphins players thrive in different environments. The competition will only see South African cricket benefit and it’s going to be a great addition to our season, we’re looking forward to welcoming the players back after the tournament,” Khan said.
