MI Cape Town have bolstered their squad for the 2027 SA20 season with a strong mix of proven international match-winners, South African all-round quality and exciting young talent following the SA20 Player Auction held today. The franchise made a statement with the addition of West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer and New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, two players with extensive international and T20 experience. Hetmyer adds power and versatility to the batting line-up, while Boult brings world-class left-arm pace and a wealth of experience in franchise cricket. South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder is another major addition to the squad, offering both batting depth and a quality seam-bowling option. MI Cape Town have also backed the next generation of South African talent, adding Daniel Smith, Lehan Botha and U23 player Oliver Whitehead to the squad. The additions reflect MI Cape Town’s approach to building a competitive squad - bringing together global experience, South African quality and emerging local talent as the franchise looks ahead to the upcoming SA20 season.

MI Cape Town add star power and South African talent at SA20 Auction

Inside Banner.png

The Blue and Gold have been busy as our MI Cape Town squad took shape.&nbsp; We walked into the SA20 League season 5 auction with a clear plan in place… add firepower, versatility and a whole lot of match winning X factor. The MI Cape Town paddle went up; the bids flew in and the team meant business. We went in with a purse of R9.35M…six slots to fill, no wildcard available and one U23 slot required.Previously, with 12 players already retained and Will Jacks joining the MI Cape Town family as a pre-signed player, the final six pieces of the puzzle were up for grabs. Our retained stars are: Rashid Khan, Corbin Bosch, Dane Piedt, George Linde, Jason Smith, Kagiso Rabada, Nicholas Pooran, Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Thomas Kaber, Tiaan Van Vuuren and Tristan Luus.From the Caribbean flair, to the Kiwi legend and the Proteas spark, MI Cape Town added exactly the kind of variety and flavour needed for the squad to tick in South African conditions. Cricket enthusiasts, we can’t keep calm…guess what? Shimron Hetmyer will feature for #OneFamily. When his name was announced, Blue and Gold made their move. The explosive Windies batter has found a home in MI Cape Town for R1.50M. By adding another serious power hitter to an already dangerous looking unit, we have indeed snapped up royalty.Next, we went big for Wiaan Mulder, securing the South African talented all-rounder for R2.60M. He brings the kind of versatility that is gold dust to a side. With his ability to contribute in all departments of the game, he adds depth, flexibility and plenty of power. Another familiar face in Blue and Gold…Trent Boult is back for R1.50M! Having been with the team previously, our very own Boulty is familiar with the Blue and Gold setup.Finally, three exciting local South African picks completed our MI Cape Town squad… Daniel Smith (R200K), Lehan Botha (R200K) and the 21-year-old youngster Oliver Whitehead (R200K).Kaapstad…Let’s get ready for season 5 as the next chapter is waiting to be written. MI Cape Town fans, the squad is locked in…now it is your turn to cheer the loudest and bring the noise to the stadium.

Purple patch/ˈpəːpl ˌpatʃ/IdiomA period of great success, good luck, or high achievementIt’s what Will Jacks has been living in all 2026.&nbsp;Four Player of the Match awards at the T20 World Cup, three fifties in a row at the 100-ball tournament, plucking out screamers by the boundary, it’s like he’s been doing it for fun.&nbsp;Via Mumbai, Abu Dhabi and London, he’s ready to touch down at the Newlands, bring this purple into the MI Cape Town Blue and Gold.&nbsp;“I think Cape Town is such an incredible city. To be joining another MI franchise, making it my fourth one, I’m really excited,” he told MI Cape Town.So who’s he most excited about joining forces with?&nbsp;“I’ve been lucky to play with so many incredible players through the MI franchise and around the world in general. So I’ll choose a player who I haven’t played with yet, and that would be Kagiso Rabada,” he said.&nbsp;It marks another chapter in the long and deep association Jacks has with the #OneFamily. The Kaapstad cannot wait to see him tonk them into those grass banks, or pull off one-handed stunners by the boundary. This time as a HOME player.&nbsp;“I think ever since I joined Mumbai Indians for my first IPL, it was very clear the culture was really important to the franchise and the whole worldwide group. And the word ‘Family’ is used to last.&nbsp;“Newlands is probably one of the most iconic cricket venues in the world. Being at the base of the mountain, as an away player, it’s the game you look forward to on the calendar. And now being a home player, I know I’m going to be very lucky to have opportunities to play there. The crowd has always been good and I think I’m really looking forward to experiencing that as a home player.”To new beginnings, Will! Welcome home! &nbsp;
