Free State will retain the name, the Knights, as South African domestic cricket returns to provincial competition later this year.
Free State have been placed in division one of the country’s new domestic structure, after franchise cricket was dissolved.
“Free State Cricket is extremely excited with the transition to the new orange machine era, since their inclusion as one of the division one teams as part of Cricket South Africa’s domestic restructuring model,” read a brief statement from the Free State Cricket Union.
“FSCU, therefore, is proud to announce that their division one professional side will remain as the Knights cricket team.”
