As also opened the Hobart Hurricanes, Mitchell Owen will be a similar replacement for Joe Root.
Paarl’s real ones have agreed to Mitchell Owen for the rest of SA20 2025 after their heroicity in the recently concluded Big Bash League (BBL) 2024/25. Replaces Joe Root, who will go to India to participate in the ODI series of three games.
Root has been one of the main corridors of this SA20 edition, accumulating 279 races to an average of 55.80 and an attack rate of 140.20 in eight outputs, including three fifty. In addition, it also has five WICKETS at 26,60 races each with the ball, which has a complete impact.
He played numerous prudent blows and tight spells, which played a crucial role in the impeccable streak of the Paarl Royals at home this season. The covers in Paarl have been slow and strongly favored, but the English dough showed its true class by handling them with a higher technique at the top.
In Paarl, Root has 161 races at an average of 53.66 and a strike rate of 129.83 in five tickets, which includes two fifty. In general, it is not seen as a T20 batter, but this tournament mitigated those perceptions, and calls to include it on the T20I side have been abundant now.
Why did the real Paarl attend Mitchell Owen as a replacement for Joe Root?
The most important reason to replace Joe Root with Mitchell Owen was his recent BBL 2024/25 exhibition, where he was the main scorer. He gathered 452 races at an average of 45.20 and a strike rate of 203.60 in 11 inputs, including two centuries.

His best blow came in the final against Sydney Thunder, where he accumulated 108 races in 42 balls with the help of six four and 11 six. The most notable feature of his batting was his experience in six shocks, since Owen cleared his strings every 6.16 he delivered this BBL season.
Since he also opened Hobart Hurricanes, Owen will be a similar replacement for Joe Root. With Lhuan-Dre Praetorius already in a magnificent way, Owen’s addition will cause Paarl Royals’s openings to be one of the most threatening, since the duo can maximize the game of power and provide rapid beginnings to his team.
It will also give more exposure to the young Australian batter who has shown incredible signs in the early phase of his career. If Owen can continue his impressive race in SA20 2025, he will attract the attention of IPL teams more than ever, which could open an opportunity for him to be a replacement player for next season.
