Durban, July 26 (IANS) Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and England all-rounder Chris Woakes have joined Durban’s Super Giants for the SA20 2025 season. Both will feature in their first season of the tournament. The SA20 2025 season is scheduled from January 9 to February 8. The deadline for the retentions was July 21 while the last date for the direct signing is August 31.
Recently, Williamson declined the New Zealand central contract and indicated his intentions to play in the SA20.
“There’s a number of great competitions on during that time, but SA20 looks really exciting,” Williamson had told reporters. “Unfortunately, it meant turning down a central contract. However, my priority still is playing for New Zealand. Think I miss maybe a handful of games over a three-week period.”
Woakes has been a crucial member of England’s white-ball team, especially when it comes to using the new ball in their victories in the 2019 ODI and 2022 T20I World Cups. However, he was not selected for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.
Woakes joined his England teammates Joe Root and Ben Stokes to feature in the SA20. Last week, Root was signed by Paarl Royals while Stokes has been offered a substantial contract by MI Cape Town.
DSG finished as runners-up in the last edition of the tournament after losing to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final.
