Another T20 league is to be played in the UAE in January 2023 itself, which will clash with the dates of the South African League. That too may start by January-February, 2023. In such a situation, there has been talking between the organizers of both the leagues and it has been said that many players including England captain Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone are interested to play in the South African league.
