A former Proteas player has been linked to a franchise in the emerging European T20 Premier League, with a teaser video hinting at Jonty Rhodes’ involvement.
The clip stops short of confirming details, but strongly suggests the ex-South Africa star could take up a role at ownership level. If confirmed, it would mark another step in the global expansion of franchise cricket and add a South African presence to the project.
The European T20 Premier League is expected to feature teams from Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands, with a focus on developing local players while attracting international names.
Rhodes remains active in the franchise circuit as a coach and mentor, making him a natural fit for a league looking to build credibility.
For now, the link remains speculative, but the teaser has added early interest to a competition still taking shape.
Looks like the South African ownership group for Rotterdam is being announced soon
