“This is certainly an exciting fixture at one of the world’s iconic venues to kick-start our league,” said Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Thabang Moroe.
“We have as far as possible concentrated fixtures on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays which have proved to be the most popular days with our fans in the past.”
“We are also confident that the league will attract new fans and provide ideal entertainment value for families in a secure and convivial environment. The entertainment package will go way beyond cricket.”
“Where there are two fixtures on the same day, these will be played at staggered times so that fans will be able to get full value from SABC’s live coverage of all the matches.”
