European T20 League Set to Launch as Faf du Plessis Invests in Franchise
The European T20 League is about to be launched soon, as the fans await. In the bidding process, the former cricketers turned out to be the most active. A team has now been acquired by players such as Faf du Plessis, Jonty Rhodes, and Heinrich Klaasen.
Cricket fans will rejoice looking at another T20 league, which is set to commence this year. And it is the European T20 League, where the team biddings took place recently. In the other T20 leagues, fans have seen that it is the companies or the individuals who own teams in other leagues that bring down the investments.
But for the European T20 League, it has turned out to be entirely different. The former cricketers have been more active in the bidding process, bringing them together for a common purpose. According to the recent reports, the team Rotterdam has also been acquired by a group of former cricketers.
This includes the big names such as Faf du Plessis, Jonty Rhodes, and Heinrich Klaasen. The Proteas trio will finally be having a reunion, as they come together as the owners of a team. Faf du Plessis will also be leading the franchise in this tournament, which is expected to commence from 26 August.
Our Take
Watching the former cricketers stay active in the bidding process of the T20 leagues was not on the Bingo cards for any fan. Faf du Plessis has been a key player for various teams in the T20 leagues, as he now aims to expand his portfolio by becoming the owner and a player of the same team. It will also make him among the few players, who are a part of the management and the playing XI as well.
