Johannesburg [South Africa], October 9 (ANI): Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday announced the fixtures for the three revised franchise competitions for the 2020-21 season as well as the senior provincial fixtures for both men and women.
As previously announced the franchises will play a T20 competition in addition to the One-Day Cup and the CSA Four-Day Franchise Series following the decision to postpone the Mzansi Super League.
The franchise season will start in the first week of November while provincial cricket for both men and women will start at the beginning of January.
"We are pleased that no matches have been reduced despite the late start to the season. Both the four-day series and the Momentum One-Day Cup will have the six competing teams divided into two pools of three teams each. They will play a double round of fixtures against teams in their own pool and a single round of cross-pool matches," CSA Acting Chief Executive Kugandrie Govender said in a statement.
The T20 competition will be played over a single round (5 matches) with the top two teams qualifying for the final.
"I cannot stress enough the importance of our domestic system and the important role it plays in our talent development pipeline for the Proteas. One only has to look at the number of players who made successful international debuts in the three formats last season," Govender added. (ANI)
