Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced today that it will stage a Twenty20 tournament later this year featuring the country's top players and international stars. South African television company SuperSport will be partners in a deal which CSA acting chief executive Thabang Moroe said would be "the biggest in the history of South African domestic cricket".

A CSA statement gave no details about the format of the tournament, which will be played in November and December. However, it seems unlikely to be as ambitious as the aborted T20 Global League, which was planned for last season but did not take place. The Global League was to be a city-based franchise tournament, with foreign owners of seven of the eight teams.
