Mzansi Super League 2018 Squads: Everything you need to know

Tshwane Spartans

Mr 360 AB De villiers and Eoin Morgan are expected to be star performers in Tshwane Spartans lineup

Tshwane Spartans will begin their MSL 2018 campaign on November 16 in the tournament opener against Cape Town Blitz. The team poses a lot of experienced players in their ranks, but lacks young blood, with atleast 10 out of 17 players aged 30 plus.

Batting

Mr 360 AB de Villiers, who stunned the cricketing fraternity by announcing a shock retirement from international cricket in May after the conclusion of IPL, will be eager to mark his comeback with a blistering knock. Spartans also have a strong performer in Eoin Morgan, who, with 5518 runs and 28 T20 fifties to his name, is a big threat in the middle. Except these two, they will also bank on the likes of Rilee Rossouw, Sikander Raza and local talent Theunis de Bruyn to excel during the tournament.

Bowling

Despite an experienced lineup in their ranks, this department seems overly dependent on the performance of Lungi Ngidi, who is one of best T20 bowlers these days. Frylink, Jeevan Media and Rory Kleinveldt are other names that are expected to be key figures in this lineup.

Full Squad

AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan, Lungi Ngidi, Robbie Frylinck, Jeevan Mendis, Theunis de Bruyn, Rory Kleinveldt, Sean Williams, Gihahn Cloete, Lutho Sipamla, Tony de Zorzi, Dean Elgar, Andrew Birch, Sikandar Raza, Shaun von Berg, Eldred Hawken and Rilee Rossouw.
