The SA20 is holding its first edition, and investors from India have shown keen interest in bidding for franchises in the league. The biggest of the domestic T20 leagues, the Indian Premier League, which has a history of 15 years, is conducted smoothly due to the immense funds provided by Indian investors and sponsors from around the world.
The SA20, though, is not as big a platform as the IPL, nor does it have a similar craze or viewership among cricket fans globally. But yet, after all this, SA20 has also attracted players from around the world and would require huge funds for the undisputed continuation of the league. These monetary requirements are fulfilled by the team owners and sponsors, who provide all kinds of benefits to their team members.
