Former England cricket team pacer James Anderson has registered himself for the SA20 auction and will go under the hammer on September 9. 782 players have registered for the auction for the next edition of the tournament in hopes of finding buyers. The next edition of SA20 will get underway from December 26, 2025 onwards and the final will be held just days before the T20 World Cup.
