The Paarl Royals (PR) have showcased potential in the first two seasons of SA20, finishing fourth in 2023 and third in 2024. However, their playoff performances have left much to be desired.
This season, the Royals have built a formidable squad with star players like David Miller, Dinesh Karthik, Joe Root, and Lungi Ngidi. Dinesh Karthik’s participation is particularly significant, as he becomes the first Indian cricketer to feature in the SA20 tournament.
