The SA20’s global footprint continues to grow as franchises reinforce their squads with some top Australian talent.

Those franchises have taken advantage of Australia’s brief hiatus from any international commitments (until 9 February).

T20 World Cup winner Matthew Wade joins the Joburg Super Kings and will instantly improve the top of their batting order. He replaces Alzarri Joseph, who was called up by the West Indies for their tour of Zimbabwe.

Hard-hitting Singapore-born Australia all-rounder Tim David and English fast bowler Henry Brooks have joined MI Cape Town as replacements for the injured Liam Livingstone and Olly Stone, who has been called up by England for their Test series in New Zealand.

ALSO: MI Cape Town call on reinforcements

Australian batsman Ben McDermott and England fast bowler David Willey were picked up by Durban’s Super Giants. They replace Kyle Mayers and Jason Holder, who were both called up by the West Indies.

Former Proteas batsman Colin Ingram has replaced the in-form Will Jacks at the Pretoria Capitals. Jacks has been named in England’s Test squad.

The tournament will resume at Kingsmead on Thursday when Durban’s Super Giants host MI Cape Town.
