SA20 2026 Auction – The SA20 2025-26 auction in Johannesburg delivered plenty of excitement as all six teams finalized their squads. From record signings to smart bargains, the night had it all.
SA20 2026 Auction Recap: Big Buys and Bold Moves:
Dewald Brevis stole the show, becoming the most expensive player in SA20 history. Pretoria Capitals signed him for R16.5 million after a fierce bidding war. Coach Sourav Ganguly said, “Brevis is a game-changer. His progression over the past year and a half, especially against Australia, shows he can turn matches around in T20 cricket. Pairing him with Andre Russell and Sherfane Rutherford gives us a formidable lineup.”
The Capitals also added Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, and Lizaad Williams, giving them a strong balance for a title run.
