Dale Steyn criticizes potential SA20 match outside South Africa

Dale Steyn expressed concerns about the SA20 potentially hosting matches outside South Africa. Speaking ahead of the league’s fifth season, he emphasized the importance of the local fanbase and the league's success in revitalizing cricket in the country. Steyn highlighted that South African spectators support the league passionately and warned against diminishing that by taking games overseas. The SA20 has successfully engaged fans after struggles during the pandemic, and ongoing discussions about matches in India reflect the changing dynamics of international cricket. Steyn argued that SA20 is performing well and should remain grounded in South Africa, saying, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'
