The league has attracted some of the best exponents of the international T20 game in its ranks. Among the big names are Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, and Alzarri Joseph. South African cricket fans are also looking forward to watching the highly promising 19-year-old Dewald Brevis, nicknamed Baby AB because of his resemblance in looks and batting style to AB de Villiers. Brevis smashed a South African T20 record 162 off just 57 balls for his local franchise team in November.
