Roston Chase Linked to SA20 2027 Auction
Listen to the story
Roston Chase, a cricketer from the West Indies, has appeared in reports linked to the SA20 2027 player auction.
SA20 is a franchise cricket league in South Africa, where teams buy players through an auction before each season starts.
At this stage, the available information does not confirm a specific price or team for Chase in the 2027 edition.
His name has also been mentioned in connection with a similar auction process for the IPL, the Indian Premier League, in 2026.
Separately, India and West Indies are currently playing a T20I series, a shorter format of international cricket.
The second match of this series took place in the home city of former Indian captain Dhoni.
Before the match, there was interest in which team won the toss, an important early moment that can affect strategy.
Fans and reporters also asked whether a young player named Vaibhav would be included in India's Playing 11, the final list of players chosen for the match.
No further details, such as match results or confirmed auction prices, have been provided in current reports.
More updates are expected as both the SA20 auction process and the India-West Indies series continue.
