The cricket scene in South Africa is set to undergo a massive transformation, as Cricket South Africa unveiled its plan to host the T20 Global League in the country. The format is similar to other major T20 events across the world such as the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League and the Caribbean Premier League. Eight franchises will represent eight cities in the country, owned by some of the big names in the sports industry. One of these eight cities is Cape Town, which will be participating in the T20 Global League.
