T20 competitions highlight challenges of developing local talent

Last Sunday, the final of the DP World ILT20 was played in front of a near capacity crowd in Dubai.

The previous day, at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, Sunrisers Eastern Cape beat the Pretoria Capitals in the final of the Betway SA20 tournament in front of a capacity crowd. Before the tournament started, there had been concerns about how the public would respond to the third attempt to establish a T20 franchise league in South Africa.
