Boucher Backs SA20 Success, Discusses Expansion
Mark Boucher, a former South Africa cricket player, talked about the SA20 league.
He thinks the league is doing well and is timed perfectly during the holiday season, which brings in big crowds.
Boucher said that adding more teams to the league is not easy right now because of issues like finding good places to play.
He mentioned that maybe in the future, with more seasons played, the league could grow, especially if IPL owners get involved.
Right now, three teams have made it to the playoffs, and one more spot is still being decided.
