Faf du Plessis and Jonty Rhodes Support European T20 Premier League to Boost Associate Cricket
Faf du Plessis and Jonty Rhodes, co-owners of the Rotterdam Dockers, support the inaugural European T20 Premier League (ETPL) starting August 26. They believe the league will offer Associate cricket nations and emerging players crucial exposure and opportunities to narrow the gap with established teams. Du Plessis highlighted the impressive performances of Associate nations at the 2026 T20 World Cup and sees the ETPL as a platform to strengthen European cricket over the coming years through equal opportunities and a strong international lineup.
