Overview

• Pretoria Capitals paid R16.5 million for Dewald Brevis, the highest fee in SA20 history, after outbidding Joburg Super Kings coached by Stephen Fleming.
• Aiden Markram moved to Durban Super Giants for R14 million, becoming the first SA20 player to cross R10 million as Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s Right-to-Match bid fell short.
• SA20 reported R129.3 million spent on 84 signings, including R116.9 million on South Africans and R22.8 million on 12 under-23 players, in what commissioner Graeme Smith called reinvestment in local talent.
• Brevis’ valuation followed a standout year highlighted by 291 runs in MI Cape Town’s title run, a South Africa T20I record 125* against Australia, and a high-impact IPL stint with Chennai Super Kings.
• Squads are set for Season 4, which runs from December 26, 2025 to January 25, 2026, with notable buys including Wiaan Mulder at R9 million and Matthew Breetzke at R6.1 million.
