Pakistan National Cricket Team's captain for the Tests, Babar Azam, is reportedly registering his name for the upcoming season of the ILT20 League. If the recent reports are to be believed, Pakistan's batting superstar is set to test his luck at the next International League T20 (ILT20) auction, the UAE's only T20 franchise league.
The International League T20 (DP World ILT20) Season 5 is scheduled to run from November 21 to December 20, 2026, and will run till December 30, 2026. Matches in the league will be played across UAE venues, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
Babar Azam is likely to make his debut in International League T20 (ILT20)
Like the previous editions, this time too, the league will be held between six franchises: Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Desert Vipers, Dubai Capitals, Gulf Giants, MI Emirates, and Sharjah Warriorz.
Ahead of the fifth season, the league has already attracted global attention, with Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee joining as brand ambassadors. If Babar Azam joins the tournament, then it can prove helpful in the growth of the league.
Azam, who played in multiple franchise leagues around the globe, including the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Big Bash League (BBL), Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Lankan Premier League (LPL), and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), has never played in the ILT20 League.
