Ahead of the SA20 2026 season, the Durban Super Giants have confirmed that Lance Klusener will be reappointed as the head coach.

He has been a key figure on the side since the inaugural edition and will be continuing his journey with the side. Under his guidance, Super Giants played in the finals of the 2024 season, against Sunrisers Eastern Cape and ended up as runners-up.

“We’ve laid the foundation over the past three years. Now, it’s time to build a team that can consistently challenge for the title and make Durban proud. Durban is my home. Coaching this franchise is more than a job–it’s a mission to build something enduring with our fans and players,” he added.

As the new season is coming up later this year, the Durban’s Super Giants are aiming for a stronger bounce-back from their previous slump.
