Two-time Betway SA20 winning captain Aiden Markram became Durban's Super Giants highest paid player when he headlined the Durban side's acquisitions at the SA20 auction on Tuesday.

Markram fetched a staggering R14 million at the auction and will be a critical part of DSG's squad heading into the new season starting on 26 December.

Along with the Proteas T20 captain, DSG picked some strong local flavour with the likes of all-rounders Andile Simelane and Eathan Bosch joining the ranks for the new season.

The Super Giants had to fight off the Pretoria Capitals for Bosch while Simelane moves to Durban from Gqeberha.

Local Dolphins batter Marques Ackerman will also call Kingsmead home for the competition while Proteas test star David Bedingham has also been snapped up by DSG.

Exciting young seamer Kwena Maphaka will also shift to the East Coast for the tournament along with another Proteas seamer in Gerald Coetzee.

The pair will offer some much-needed pace to the DSG attack.

DSG also picked up former Joburg Super Kings and New Zealand batter Devon Conway who will add firepower and experience at the top of the order.

After joining DSG last season Tony de Zorzi returns to Durban for this seasons SA20 while Lance Klusener strengthened his all-rounder stocks with Dayaan Galliem's arrival at Kingsmead.

With a void left after the departure of Keshav Maharaj and Prenelan Subrayen, DSG welcome Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam to the squad.

Young Stellenbosch cricketer Gysbert Wege was the next player picked up by DSG as they continued to strengthen their squad with young blood.

Evan Jones was the next player to be picked up by the Super Giants and will bolster the seamers stocks for DSG.

The T20 franchise veteran David Wiese has been selected by DSG as another all-rounder.

Durban’s Super Giants begin their campaign on 26 December when they take on defending champions MI Cape Town at Newlands in the competition opener.
