Paarl Rocks are a franchise team of the South African Mzansi Super League Twenty20 cricket tournament founded in 2018. The team was based at Boland Park in Paarl. The coach was Adrian Birrell. [1]

Paarl Rocks played in the first two editions of the MLS in 2018 and 2019, before COVID-19 delayed the competition in 2020. The team won the competition in 2019 [2] but were dissolved in 2021 in response to the reform of the domestic structure of South African cricket. All six of the original city-based franchise teams in the Mzansi Super League were to have been replaced by eight new teams based around the new South African domestic structure, [3] but the league itself was later cancelled and replaced by a new franchise competition, the SA20, beginning in the 2022/23 season.[ citation needed ]
