the cash-rich league will fulfill the promise of providing the
cricket fans in South Africa non-stop action at attractively
priced tickets.

"We had promised our fans in the rainbow nation of a
non-stop cricket carnival and the attractive ticket pricing, I
think, should be a huge impetus for fans to come and see some
of the best cricketing talents in the world, their prowess on
the field," he said.

The preliminary phase comprises 56 matches to be played
during 34 days at eight venues, including 22 days of action
