SA20 2027: Full squads for each team after the auction

The South African T20 League’s 2027 auction delivered high-profile moves as teams secured star players in a flurry of bidding wars. Joburg Super Kings emerged as the most aggressive buyers, reclaiming Faf du Plessis for R2.7 million and landing 18-year-old sensation Jason Rowles in a record-breaking deal at R2.9 million—the auction’s most expensive signing.

The franchise also snapped up Kieron Pollard, ending his decade-long tenure with Mumbai Indians, for R1.5 million, while adding Jamie Overton as a wildcard pick. MI Cape Town invested heavily in pace, outbidding rivals for Wiaan Mulder (R2.6 million) and Trent Boult (R1.5 million), alongside Shimron Hetmyer’s return for the same fee.

Meanwhile, Pretoria Capitals brought in Proteas captain Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen, while Sunrisers Eastern Cape reinforced their attack with Nandre Burger’s addition.
