T20 Global League
The T20 Global League was a planned Twenty20 cricket tournament by Cricket South Africa, to be held in South Africa from November 2017. In the wake of the departure of CSA's CEO Haroon Lorgat, CSA announced in October 2017 that the tournament would be postponed to November 2018 due to financial considerations, the lack of a broadcast deal and title sponsor. Thabang Moroe, acting CEO of CSA said that "we have re-assessed our strategy and believe that postponing the first edition of the T20 Global League to next year will serve us well".The first edition of the tournament was scheduled to feature eight privately-owned teams, starting on 16 November 2017 with its inaugural final match on 16 December 2017.
In June 2018, CSA announced that the T20 Global League would not take place, to be replaced by a league featuring six CSA-owned teams. This new tournament was later named the Mzansi Super League.
