New Delhi, Sep 3
Former South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris has tipped Aiden Markram to be the most sought-after player at the upcoming SA20 season four auction, to be held on September 9.
The RTM card allows a franchise to match a winning bid on a player who was on their season three roster, thereby retaining their services. Each team will have a limited number of RTM cards to use, with the number dependent on their pre-auction retentions.
“It would be even more special if they paired him with another local talent, but that all depends on affordability. There are so many permutations and calculations in play, especially when it comes to assembling strong batting units, and that’s what makes the auction so fascinating,” added Morris.”
“What’s new this season is the introduction of Right to Match (RTM) cards, which add an exciting dynamic. Another key change is the requirement for each squad to include two South African Under-23 players, a strong investment in youth and the future of South African cricket,” he concluded.
