Paarl Royals and the defending champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, have two auction picks available, while Durban Super Giants have only one auction spot to fill, apart from their Rookie player.
The maximum allowed squad strength is 19 players, with a mandatory minimum of 10 South African players and a maximum of seven overseas players, along with a South African Rookie player.
