Durban’s Super Giants welcome new signings
Along with the Proteas T20 captain Aiden Markram, DSG picked some strong local flavour, with the likes of all-rounders Andile Simelane and Eathan Bosch, both of whom play for the Hollywoodbets Dolphins.
DURBAN’S Super Giants (DSG) made headlines last week when they bought Aiden Markram for R14m at the Betway SA20 auction.
Markram, a two-time SA20 winning captain, became DSG’s highest paid player and will be a critical part of the squad heading into the new season starting on December 26.

The Super Giants had to fight off the Pretoria Capitals for Bosch, while Simelane moves to Durban from Gqeberha.
Local Dolphins batter Marques Ackerman will also call Kingsmead home for the competition, while Proteas Test star David Bedingham has also been snapped up by DSG.
Exciting young seamer Kwena Maphaka will also shift to the East Coast for the tournament, along with another Proteas seamer in Gerald Coetzee. The pair will offer some much-needed pace to the DSG attack.
DSG also picked up former Joburg Super Kings and New Zealand batter Devon Conway who will add firepower and experience at the top of the order.
After joining DSG last season Tony de Zorzi returns to Durban for this season’s SA20, while Lance Klusener strengthened his all-rounder stocks with Dayaan Galliem’s arrival at Kingsmead.
With a void left after the departure of Keshav Maharaj and Prenelan Subrayen, DSG welcome Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam to the squad.
Another addition to the squad is veteran David Wiese and Daryn Dupavillon who continues that strong KZN-based player feel to the squad for the competition.
The Durban franchise play the defending champions MI Cape Town at Newlands in the competition opener.
Durban’s Super Giants Squad:
Heinrich Klaasen, Jos Buttler, Noor Ahmad, Sunil Narine, Aiden Markram, Kwena Maphaka, Gerald Coetzee, Eathan Bosch, Marques Ackerman, Devon Conway, David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi, Andile Simelane, Dayaan Galiem, Taijul Islam, Gysbert Wege, Evan Jones, David Wiese, Daryn Dupavillon.
