DSG STAY LOYAL TO MAJORITY OF STAR-STUDDED SQUAD FOR SEASON 3

Durban's Super Giants have announced their star-studded retention list for Betway SA20 Season 3. 

After reaching last season’s final for the first time, the Super Giants have assembled a squad that will aim to go one step further. 

The arrival of New Zealand superstar Kane Williamson along with West Indian opener Brandon King and England all-rounder Chris Woakes had added a great deal of quality to the squad. 

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will also return to Kingsmead after his cameo last season as the Season 3 Wildcard. He will certainly look to make a major impact after recently being named in the official ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament for his dynamic performances with bat and ball in the Caribbean. 

Afghanistan seam bowler Naveen-ul-Haq is also back in the Super Giants’ blue and green after a successful ICC Men’s T20 World Cup where he took 13 wickets at 26.4 to spearhead the Afghans to their first-ever major tournament semi-final. 

His Afghan compatriot Noor Ahmad, who replaced Sri Lankan speedster Dilshan Madushanka last season, has also been retained. The 19-year-old claimed the first five-for of Season 2 when he bagged 5/11 against the Paarl Royals and will look to produce similar performances next year. 

Betway SA20 Season 2 Player of the Tournament Heinrich Klaasen headlines the list of locally retained players that includes captain Keshav Maharaj, Prenelan Subrayen, Dwaine Pretorius, Jon-Jon Smuts, Wiaan Mulder, Junior Dala, Matthew Breetzke, Jason Smith and Quinton De Kock.

Last season’s Rookie Bryce Parsons has also been retained and the youngster will no doubt look to open his DSG account this coming season.
