JOHANNESBURG : Indian Premier League team owners have bought all six franchises of South Africa's new domestic T20 league, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Wednesday, underlining IPL's expanding global footprint.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday confirmed that former Proteas captain Graeme Smith will be the commissioner of South Africa's upcoming T20 league. Smith will be overseeing all aspects (both cricketing and non-cricketing) and developing what is anticipated to be a dynamic brand that showcases the strength of South African cricket. Smith brings with him tremendous experience and understanding of the game, having worked in the sport as a player, captain, commentator, ambassador, consultant and more recently as Cricket South Africa's (CSA) Director of Cricket (DoC). \
Former Proteas captain Graeme Smith has been appointed by Cricket South Africa (CSA) as the commissioner of the country's new T20 League.
Indian Premier League (IPL) teams snapped them all in a process conducted by audit and consultancy firm Deloitte. Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians walked away with Cape Town, four-time winners Chennai Super Kings took away Johannesburg, Delhi Capitals bought Pretoria, Lucknow Super Giants bought Durban, Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Port Elizabeth and Rajasthan Royals bought Paarl. Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith has been appointed commissioner, making it the first ever instance of a cricketer heading a T20 league.
Stand-in Proteas white-ball captain Keshav Maharaj said the team had thrown its weight behind the new director of cricket, Enoch Nkwe, and left boardroom baggage behind ahead of their tour to England.
England made history with a chase of 378 to beat India on Tuesday at Edgbaston.
Enoch Nkwe is set to be confirmed as Cricket South Africa's (CSA) new Director of Cricket (DOC).
