Dewald Brevis, the most costly player in SA20 history, is excited to join Pretoria Capitals for the upcoming Season 4. In an interview with SA20, he spoke on moving away from MI Cape Town and beginning a new chapter in his own town of Centurion, and how great it is to come back to SuperSport Park, and the memories he shared around that stadium when he grew up there.

Brevis was the headline story at the SA20 player auction, with Pretoria Capitals securing his services for INR 8.3 crore, making him the costliest signing in the league’s history. The move reunites him with familiar South African faces and adds explosive firepower to an already strong Capitals lineup.

The young star said, “I’m very excited. You always reflect back, and I think it was a special three years I had with MI Cape Town. We had our ups and downs, and it was amazing what we did in the last year. I’ll always remember that. But this is a new chapter for me. To be with Pretoria, I’m super excited. It is my hometown. I know SuperSport Park very well—it’s very close to my heart. The ground where me and my brother grew up watching cricket, running around the field, playing next to the field. To be able to be there now, I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see the team, get together with them, and just make memories and have fun.”

Brevis on Pretoria Capitals, SA20 Growth, and Fans

On joining the Pretoria Capitals squad, Brevis said, “I think it’s great. It’s great to have Lungi Ngidi there, we’ve spent a lot of time together. It started in Bangladesh, and we’ve got good memories. Then Lizaad Williams, and a lot of our local guys. I’m so happy for Connor Esterhuizen as well. He’s a great player, and he’ll do great for us. If you look at all the overseas players, I think we’ve got a well-balanced team: a strong batting lineup, power-hitters, guys that will love SuperSport Park. If you look at Rutherford, Andre Russell, it’s a great all-round team. I’m very excited to see how the boys go and how they enjoy playing there, because it’s a beautiful place to bat and play cricket.”

He also spoke about the growth of the SA20 league: “SA20, every year it just gets better. And that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Season 4, the competitive levels will rise, the quality, everything just gets better. The competition, I think, will be even tighter. The teams are always balanced and competitive, and it’s T20 cricket. The conditions in South Africa are some of the best, you get all kinds of conditions. If you play at the coast, Cape Town, everywhere it’s different. That variety is very cool, and it’s what SA20 has to offer. And I think the crowds, I can’t wait for that again. It’s a great time of the year, and it’s going to be lots of fun.”

On why fans should attend, he added, “People would also love to come and watch because everyone is on holiday, relaxed.
So why not come and relax next to the cricket field? We’ll take the bit of pressure, and everyone can enjoy. As a youngster, when it was Test cricket, I was always next to the field or watching on TV. Now it’s a privilege to be able to play during that time and to have your family there next to the field. So, it’s very exciting times.”

<![CDATA[SA20 2025/26: Full list of players and captain of Pretoria Capitals]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/sa20-2025-26-full-list-of-players-and-captain-of-pretoria-capitals/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/sa20-2025-26-full-list-of-players-and-captain-of-pretoria-capitals/ Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:29:33 GMT

It was a very poor previous edition for the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20 as they ended at the penultimate position among six franchises in the points table during the previous season of the tournament. Pretoria faced just one victory in the last six encounters of the event, which came against the Johannesburg Super Kings by six wickets.

Pretoria came into the auction of SA20 for the 2025/26 season of the competition with the biggest purse of R32.5 million as they had 16 slots to fill, including four overseas slots and a couple of under-23 slots. As soon as Dewald Brevis came into the bid, they raised their paddle and nearly kept it high in the air till bagging the batter’s rights for R16.50 million.

Pretoria also went after the left-arm Protea pacer, Nandre Burger, but they had to back out when the Johannesburg Super Kings matched their R6.3 million price, using the RTM card. They are also scoping Keshav Maharaj, the veteran off-spinner of the side, along with Lungi Ngidi, who plays his domestic cricket in Centurion at the SuperSport Park.

Pretoria now has a strong-looking bowling attack of Codi Yousuf, Craig Overton, Lizaad Williams, and Saqib Mahmood. They had already made the wild-card entry of the experienced wild-card signing of West Indies’ Andre Russell, who will bring incredible balance in the squad along with Will Jacks and Sherfane Rutherford.

Late in the evening, Pretoria also had Will Smeed, which makes it a powerful batting line-up. The only issue for them could prove to be bowling on a small Centurion ground, where the ball tends to fly a lot in the shortest format. Saqib Mahmood and Craig Overton will also bring international experience into the line-up.

Pretoria Capitals

Wild Card: Andre Russell

Pre-signing: Sherfane Rutherford and Will Jacks.

Auction: Keshav Maharaj (R1.7 million), Lungi Ngidi (R2.3 million), Dewald Brevis (R16.5 million), Lizaad Williams (R2.4 million), Craig Overton (R1 million), Saqib Mahmood (R1.5 million), Codi Yusuf (R225,000), Connor Esterhuizen (R3.2 million), Bryce Parsons (R1.9 million), Gideon Peters (R400,000), Junaid Dawood (R200,000), Will Smeed (R200,000), Meeka-eel Prince (R200,000), Bayanda Majola (R200,000), Wihan Lubbe (R200,000), Sibonelo Makhanya (R200,000)

<![CDATA[Star India batter named as head coach of Pretoria Capitals ahead of SA20 2025-26]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/star-india-batter-named-as-head-coach-of-pretoria-capitals-ahead-of-sa20-2025-26/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/star-india-batter-named-as-head-coach-of-pretoria-capitals-ahead-of-sa20-2025-26/ Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:57:37 GMT

The former Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly, is going to be the new head coach for the Pretoria Capitals ahead of the fourth season of the SA20 during the 2025-26 season, starting on Boxing Day, December 26. He will replace the former England captain, Jonathan Trott, in this position, having already acted as the director of the game at JSW Sports. It’s been the parent company of the side since last year.

The Capitals franchise of South Africa have had an unstable time in the tournament so far, as they finished the first season at the top of the points table in the group stage of the competition, before they lost the final against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Port Elizabeth.

In the first two editions since then, in 2023-24 and 2024/25, they couldn’t do well and ended at the fifth rank both times, after failing to qualify for the playoffs. In the last season, they were under the leadership of wicket-keeper batter Kyle Verrynne, with several top-class batters, Will Jacks and Will Smeed, in the playing eleven.

Sourav Ganguly appointed as head coach of Pretoria Capitals ahead of SA20 2025-26

Pretoria will be aiming to see their luck getting turned around with the appointment of Ganguly, who was part of Delhi Capitals’ coaching stint during the previous seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This will be the former India captain's first time as the head coach. For four years, he was the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) between 2015 and 2019.

Ganguly joined the Delhi franchise as the mentor for the 2019 edition of the tournament, but later, he left the team soon after he became the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). In the time since then, his appointment as JSW’s director of cricket pushed him to get close to one of the franchises of Delhi, which had co-ownership in the IPL and WPL.

His first focus will be the upcoming player auction on September 09, where they will look for fresh players in the squad with the appointment of a new coach.

These Wildcards could include either overseas stars or local players who were part of the franchise's squad in Season 3. 

Attention now shifts to the auction scheduled for September 9 in Johannesburg, where teams will compete for the remaining 84 spots. With a total auction purse of USD 7.4 million, the bidding is expected to be intense as teams look to complete their squads for Season 4.

Graeme Smith, SA20 League Commissioner, said, “When the League first drafted its regulations in Season 1, we always saw this forthcoming season as an opportunity for a strategic reset — and this is exactly where we envisioned being. There’s now a strong balance between pre-signed and retained international and Proteas players, alongside a significant purse available for the auction.”

He further said, “ After three seasons, the franchises have developed a good understanding of the South Africa cricket ecosystem and adopted a distinct strategy, which sets the stage for the most exciting auction yet.”

Smith also talked about the support from India. “It’s been amazing to see how many Indian fans follow SA20.

PC vs JSK Probable Winners:

The Pretoria Capitals won once this season, and their batting lineup has performed poorly in most games. The confidence in the camp appears to be low, and the team will need a strong performance from its batsmen to win. The Johannesburg Super Kings batted well in their last game, and their bowlers looked good. Given their current form, we expect the Super Kings to lead this game from the start. Considering the team combination, Pretoria Capitals is expected to win this match.

James Neesham’s Drop Echoes Herschelle Gibbs’ Iconic 1999 Moment in SA20

In the SA20 2025 game, something really good happened with the teams Pretoria Capitals and Paarl Royals. James Neesham, who's a cricket player from New Zealand, did something that happened earlier at the 1999 World Cup by accident. Neesham dropped the ball just as Herschelle Gibbs did many years ago. It was something we will always remember because it was wonderful.

The Moment of Misfortune

Joe Root was ready to hit the ball with the bat. Root smacked the ball and it zipped off to the side. Neesham thought he could catch it since it was the fifth time the player threw the ball. But when Neesham tried to grasp it, he could not catch it and it fell to the ground! At the start, Neesham acted as if he caught the ball, holding up his hands.But then everyone saw the ball on the ground and he felt unfathomably sad because he ruined. Oh no, he really thought he was going to catch it, but it fell right out!CPommie Mbangwa said something that made everyone remember an old cricket game from 1999. Mister Mbangwa said, he's made the same mistake as Herschelle Gibbs, which is about the time when Gibbs dropped the ball and ruined in the World Cup. Now, people are thinking about that major mistake because Mbangwa made them think of it.

Reminiscent Moment from the 1999 World Cup

In a major, important game in the World Cup of 1999, Steve Waugh from Australia was to bat and had 56 runs. Herschelle Gibbs, who played for South Africa, was able to catch the ball that Steve hit but he let it fall! Because Gibbs didn't understand it correctly, Steve continued playing. Steve's amazing playing after that helped Australia to win the game in a very thrilling manner.It was very unhappy for South Africa since that dropped ball is why they got knocked out of the World Cup. People still discuss that catch that got away.

Neesham’s Moment in the Spotlight

Joe Root was able to continue playing because Neesham missed catching the ball. Joe Root did very well and scored 78 points without getting out. His team, Paarl Royals, won the game by just 11 points against Pretoria Capitals. Joe Root's great performance was a major reason they won, and he made it tough for the other team to catch up.
