Kane Williamson Rejoins Durban Super Giants, Replaces Taijul Islam for SA20 Season 4

The signing underscores a pivot to batting depth following his T20I retirement.

Overview

Durban Super Giants announced on X that Williamson returns as a replacement for Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam for the upcoming season.
Team management prioritized top-order stability and leadership in revising the squad after previously securing Taijul at the September mega auction.
Taijul had been bought for R500,000 and was in line to become the first Bangladeshi player in the SA20 before being replaced.
Williamson was DSG’s leading scorer last season with 233 runs in eight matches, reinforcing his value to the batting lineup.
Season four of the SA20 begins on December 26 with DSG facing MI Cape Town in the opening match, days after Williamson’s T20I retirement that ended with 2,575 runs in 93 games.
