The Africa Cricket Association (ACA) is in talks to establish a T20 Cup for the continent, aiming to replicate the success of the Asia Cup. This initiative, led by ACA chair Tavengwa Mukuhlani from Zimbabwe Cricket, seeks to commercialize cricket in Africa and fund ACA activities. However, the tournament is not expected to launch before 2027. Key discussions include determining an appropriate window for the tournament and the qualification process. South Africa, as the continent's most active team, plays a pivotal role in these discussions but needs to ensure it has the capacity to send a competitive team. The upcoming Future Tours Program (FTP) will significantly influence scheduling decisions. Currently, South Africa is engaged in talks with Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) to participate in a tri-series with Namibia, which could serve as a precursor to the Africa T20 Cup. This series is tentatively scheduled for August and aims to generate interest and funding for the ACA. With South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia set to co-host the 2027 ODI World Cup, the collaboration among these nations is expected to enhance cricket's profile in the region.
