MI Cape Town Team News & Playing 11
MICT Team News
With two of England’s T20 World Cup winners in their squad, as well as Rashid Khan and Jofra Archer, MI Cape Town have recruited some of the best overseas talent to their franchise. Coach Simon Katich has a full squad of available players to select from.
MICT Key Players
- Dewald Brevis- the 19 year old is predicted to be one of the global cricketing stars of the next decade. He has an excellent record in domestic T20 cricket and has spent time in the IPL and the CPL competitions.
- Liam Livingstone- the English batting all-rounder is capable of hitting the ball further and harder than most other players. He has been unfortunate with injuries over the last six months but will attack from his first ball in this game.
- Rashid Khan- the skipper has cut short his involvement in this year’s BBL to be a part of the SA20 tournament. He is widely recognised as one of the best T20 spinners in world cricket.
