League Commissioner Graeme Smith: Former South Africa cricketer and South Africa 20 League Commissioner Graeme Smith lauded the league's journey since its inception and how the SA20 has revived the sport in South Africa.

Season 2 of the SA20 recently concluded with Sunrisers Eastern Cape claiming the title yet gainst for the second time. The resounding success of SA20 marked a pivotal moment in the nation's cricketing journey. Smith's sentiments resonated deeply as he acknowledged the challenges cricket faced in the country over the years.

“I think we have to be honest, cricket lost its way in South Africa for a number of years, for various reasons, whether it was team performance, whether it was issues at a Cricket South Africa level. And I think for me it was great to see the spirit of back, when you think of rugby and football being popular, obviously at a national level they are, but for a domestic based tournament we have been able to smash numbers across the board and compete very well. So we've actually done better than other sports over the same period,” said Graeme Smith.
