SRH Star Liam Livingstone Joins Durban Super Giants in SA20 as Replacement Player

Sunrisers Hyderabad's high-value acquisition, Liam Livingstone, has joined the Durban Super Giants (DSG) in the SA20 2025-26 season as a replacement player. The England all-rounder steps in for New Zealand batter Devon Conway, who has departed the tournament due to national commitments for the upcoming white-ball tour of India.

Livingstone, who was secured by SRH for a massive INR 13 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, is renowned for his destructive middle-order batting, boasting a career T20 strike rate of 145.06. His inclusion is a significant boost for DSG, who are currently placed fourth in the SA20 points table and are looking to solidify their position ahead of the playoffs.

This move provides Livingstone with crucial match practice in a high-stakes franchise environment, following a strong run of form in other T20 leagues, including captaining Birmingham Phoenix and finishing as their leading run-scorer in The Hundred. His performance in the SA20 will be closely monitored by the SRH management as he prepares for his IPL 2026 campaign.
