“We follow a rigorous investment process. This venture had to undergo the same process and be tested against our standard investment criteria as all other investment proposals. Our investment decisions take cognisance of the risks and benefits to all our stakeholders. We wish CSA well with the T20 Global League and will continue to support the development of, and access to, the sport in various other ways,” commented the co-founder and chief executive of Brimstone, Mustaq Brey.

However, the Twitter handle of the T20 Global league recently revealed its logo to keep the hopes of the fans up and running. Faf Du Plessis would be heading Stellenbosch Monarchs along with the mentorship of Stephen Fleming and Eric Simmons. The side will play its home matches at Boland Park in Paarl.

“It’s great to have the experience and knowledge of the world great like Stephen Fleming in our set up. I’m really looking forward to playing at Boland Park.
