Though it's just in its inaugural year and only a few matches have been played, Pretoria Capitals' all-rounder Jimmy Neesham says the SA20, South Africa's franchise-based domestic T20 tournament, feels just like the Indian Premier League (IPL) in terms of how the local players have grabbed the opportunity to show their capabilities.
Neesham spoke on how the talent in South Africa has come through in the inaugural season of the SA20. "Oh, for sure. It almost feels like the IPL a little bit. The four overseas players and every team are obviously really high quality and I've been really impressed by the quality of the local South African players as well, a few guys that we haven't seen in International cricket before, but certainly a whole lot of talent floating around South Africa and potentially a chance to be the launching pad for those talents to go further around the world as well," Neesham was quoted as saying in a release by SA20.
Pretoria Capitals sit at the top of the SA20 table after winning five out of their seven games. Their recent form has been a little less impressive with two losses in their last five games.
