Over 100 players, including Eoin Morgan from England, over 50 from the West Indies (including Lendl Simmons and Denesh Ramdin), over 30 from Sri Lanka (including Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Mendis, and Kusal Perera), 25 from Afghanistan (including Mohammad Shahzad), and 10 from Zimbabwe are on the list. There are also contributions from Namibia, The Netherlands, Ireland, Canada, Oman, Scotland, and New Zealand (Ross Taylor and Jimmy Neesham).
The likelihood of Pakistani players competing in the league is minimal because all teams are Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, and they are afraid of domestic backlash if they are associated with Pakistani sportsmen.
“There is a supplementary list of players who have registered but are not currently on the list as we are awaiting to hear from the home boards of these players. Once we have further clarity we will update the list as soon as practicable,” the former South Africa captain and SA20 League Commissioner Graeme Smith said.
“Unless PCB gives consent, CSA won’t put names of Pakistan players,” a SA20 official said. (As reported by Cricbuzz).
