Exciting news for cricket fans as England Test captain Ben Stokes is set to join the Mumbai Indians family, but not in the IPL. Instead, he will be a key player for the MI Cape Town squad in the upcoming SA20 league. This move marks Stokes’ first time playing for a Mumbai Indians-owned franchise team, having previously represented other IPL teams like Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings.
MI Cape Town has had a tough time in the past two seasons, finishing at the bottom of the table. With Stokes on board, there is hope for a turnaround in the upcoming season led by Kieron Pollard.
According to reports from Telegraph, Stokes has secured a lucrative contract worth GBP 800,000 for the 2025 season. He joins a star-studded dressing room that includes his England teammates Sam Curran and Jofra Archer.
Key Details:
Start of SA20 2025: January 09, 2025
Final Match: February 08, 2025
The SA20 2025 will precede the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to begin on February 19.
