Agent Reeza? Hendricks hopes off-field bonhomie entices England's top players to new T20 league

Proteas opener Reeza Hendricks hopes that the off-field bonhomie opposing players often strike in the dressing room after matches entices England stars to join Cricket South Africa's new T20 league.

Hendricks has starred in SA's 1-1 T20 series with England that's headed to a decider at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Sunday (15:30).

Recent reports were that England power hitters, including captain Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, and Moeen Ali signed up for the tournament set for January, as did West Indian Jason Holder.

"The T20 tournament, as it stands, is going to happen next year," said Hendricks.

"There've been rumours that England players will be playing in the league. That's the beauty of the leagues happening around the world nowadays.

"You should compete on the field, but off it, you become mates. I'm sure it won't be any different.

"After the game or the series, we'll definitely mingle and have a chat, see who's coming over, and try and convince them to come over as well.

"After the games, we'll definitely chat and reflect on the series."
