Shai Hope has signed for SA20 side Pretoria Capitals, replacing England all-rounder Will Jacks.

The West Indies batter will be playing in the SA20 for the first time but again links up with the Capitals having previously played for both Delhi in the IPL and Dubai in the ILT20.

In his one ILT20 season with the Capitals earlier this year, the 31-year-old scored a tournament-high 527 runs at an average of 59 to lead the franchise to their first title.

He is currently playing for West Indies on their white-ball tour of Bangladesh.

Jacks has been ruled out of the SA20 after being named in England's Test squad for this winter's tour of Australia.
