Squads check into Durban bio-bubble for CSA T20 Challenge

Durban, Feb 15 : South African stars Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje headline the list of players that have checked into the Cricket South Africa (CSA) bio-secure environment (BSE) here ahead of the T20 Challenge competition starting on Friday.
The pair is amongst a host of other South Africa stars — others include David Miller, Aiden Markram, Tabraiz Shamsi, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Keshav Maharaj and Heinrich Klaasen — that will compete in the strong domestic 20-over campaign that runs from February 19-28 at the Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium.
Rabada reported for duty together with most of the other players, barring those who participated in the three-match Twenty20 International series against Pakistan, on Sunday.
The South African speedster, who returned from the subcontinent at the conclusion of a two-match Test series last week, will feature for a strong Imperial Lions outfit.
Wandile Gwavu’s team will be captained by Temba Bavuma and also includes other household names like Rassie van der Dussen, Dwaine Pretorius, Reeza Hendricks and Lutho Sipamla.
The Lions shared the Momentum One-Day Cup title — the final of which was abandoned due to rain — with the Hollywoodbets Dolphins, a side that will be led by Maharaj and also includes big names such as Miller and Andile Phehlukwayo.
