England’s all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson has entered the auction for the SA20 as he looks to continue his franchise cricket career.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old was picked as a wildcard by Manchester Originals for this year’s Hundred but has been unsuccessful in earning contracts in the Indian Premier League and Australia’s Big Bash.<\/p>\n

The seamer is one of 541 players – 300 South Africans and 241 overseas – on the list for the auction on 9 September. <\/p>\n

There are 84 available slots in the six teams, with 25 gaps for overseas players. <\/p>\n

Anderson is one of 95 England-qualified players on the list, alongside all-rounder Moeen Ali, batter Jason Roy and seamers Saqib Mahmood and Reece Topley. <\/p>\n

As expected there is no Joe Root, who impressed last year, due to a clash with the Ashes against Australia. <\/p>\n

There are a host of South Africa internationals too, including T20 captain Aiden Markram and seven others – Anrich Nortje, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Ottneil Baartman and Gerald Coetzee – from their T20 World Cup squad in 2024. <\/p>\n

Former England captain Jos Buttler, Afghanistan star spinner Rashid Khan and West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran were among the players retained<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The fourth edition of the tournament will take place between 26 December and 26 January. It is an earlier time slot than previous tournaments to avoid a clash with the T20 World Cup in February and March. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England’s all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson has entered the auction for the SA20 as he looks to continue…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-107834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
