Chris Morris backs Aiden Markram to spark bidding war at SA20 auction

NEW DELHI: With the SA20 auction around the corner, former South African all-rounder expects to be among the biggest draws when bidding begins on September 9 in Johannesburg. "Sunrisers haven't retained him, but they do have a right-to-match card, meaning they can match the final bid for him and retain his services," Morris said, as quoted by SA20.

"That opens the door for mind games -- other teams could bid aggressively to push his price high enough to make it difficult for the Sunrisers to bring him back," he added. Morris pointed to two franchises that could target the Proteas batter. "Two teams stand out to me: MI Cape Town, which would solve their captaincy question -- not that Rashid Khan is doing a bad job -- but having a successful local international captain at number four would be a big boost, especially since they've released Rassie van der Dussen, leaving a vacancy at number three. The other is Pretoria Capitals, who have one of the largest remaining purses. He's a local player, would fill their captaincy role, slot in at number three, and bring strong leadership after Rilee Rossouw's stint last year. Either way, Aiden Markram is going to be hot property," he said. The SA20 has grown quickly since its inception, with last year's auction attracting nearly 600 player registrations from around the world. This year's retained and pre-signed list already features big names such as Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and England's Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. Each franchise was allowed a maximum of six retained or pre-signed players during the retention window, which closed on July 18, comprising up to three South African and three overseas players. Teams have also completed their six wildcard signings, with attention now shifting to the remaining slots. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A total purse of USD 7.4 million will be spent to fill the 84 available places at the September 9 auction in Johannesburg. For Season 4, a wildcard player could be any overseas cricketer or a South African who was part of the team's squad in Season 3. The new season begins on December 26, with the auction expected to set the tone for another blockbuster edition of South Africa's premier T20 competition.

ICC Penalises Corbin Bosch After ‘THIS' Gesture In Heated T20I Clash Against Australia

South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been penalised for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against Australia at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Tuesday. Bosch was found guilty of violating Article 2.5 of the ICC Code, which prohibits 'using language, actions or gestures which disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.' The incident occurred in the 17th over of Australia's innings when Bosch dismissed Ben Dwarshuis and made a send-off gesture towards the players' dugout, an act deemed capable of provoking the batter. As a result, Bosch received one demerit point on his disciplinary record. He accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Match Officials, which meant no formal hearing was required. South Africa Level the Series in Style The match itself was a high-stakes encounter, with South Africa trailing 1-0 in the series and desperate to force a decider. After a shaky start, the visitors were rescued by a sensational unbeaten 125 from young batting prodigy Dewald Brevis, scored off just 56 balls. Brevis, who reached his century in only 41 deliveries, became the youngest Men's T20I centurion for South Africa and registered the second-fastest T20I hundred in the nation's history. His heroics powered the Proteas to an imposing 218/7. In reply, Tim David gave Australia hope with a rapid 24-ball half-century, but Bosch and Kwena Maphaka shared three wickets each to dismiss the hosts for 165, sealing a 53-run victory for South Africa. Decider in Cairns The win sets up a thrilling series decider in Cairns on Saturday, August 16, before the two teams turn their attention to the ODI series starting August 19.

'Dewald Brevis, Kwena Maphaka Will Be…': Chris Morris' Massive Prediction For SA20 Auction'

Last Updated: Chris Morris looks forward to SA20 Season 4 Player Auction. With a USD 7.4 million purse, 84 slots are open. Morris names Kwena Mphaka and Dewald Brevis as top picks. With the SA20 Season 4 Player Auction just around the corner, former Proteas all-rounder Chris Morris believes this year's dynamics will make for fascinating viewing. The six franchises will have a combined purse of USD 7.4 million to fill 84 slots and complete their 19-player squads — making this the biggest SA20 auction since the league's inception in 2022. Speaking to SuperSport ahead of the Season 4 auction, Morris asserted that the likes of Kwena Maphaka and Dewald Brevis will attract big bucks. Both youngsters have been phenomenal in the ongoing bilateral series against Australia. Brevis smashed a scintillating hundred in the second T20I in Darwin and is currently the second-highest run-getter of the series. Maphaka, on the other hand, is leading the wicket charts with seven scalps in 2 matches. He returned 4/20 in the first T20I, becoming the youngest bowler to pick a four-wicket haul in the shortest format of the game. 'The auction is always exciting, no matter the tournament, but SA20 is the big one, with most of the players back in the pool. There have been a lot of retentions and several wild cards picked up, so it will be interesting to see how the teams go about building their squads," Morris said. 'I think Kwena Maphaka is going to be at the centre of a bidding frenzy. Dewald Brevis is another, given he hasn't been retained. Rassie van der Dussen, with his experience, could also be in demand. Personally, I always look out for the player who ends up going for a surprisingly high price — the buy of the tournament that no one saw coming. For me, Delano Potgieter could be that player." 'He's been successful in SA20, has done well for MI Cape Town, and is a proven performer in domestic cricket. He covers multiple roles and adds great balance to a squad — the kind of player I'd sign straight away," Morris added. The deadline for player registrations, both local and overseas, is fast approaching, with the cut-off set for Monday, August 18, 2025, at 20:30 IST. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
