UAE's ILT20 Organisers “Closely Working With Different Boards” To Minimise Schedule Clashes- Reports

The organisers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) International League T20 (ILT20) are closely working with different cricket boards in the world to minimise the scheduling clashes, a top Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) official told Reuters.

The International League T20 (ILT20), which will be a 6-team tournament, is all set to commence in 2023 and it will be a 34-match event as each team will be playing the others twice in the league, followed by four playoff matches. The tournament will be played from January 6 to February 12.

The dates of the UAE’s ILT20 will clash with the inaugural edition of the CSA T20 League, Big Bash League (BBL) and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Meanwhile, the general secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), Mubashshir Usmani, said that they finalised the January-February window for the tournament because during that time there are “optimal playing conditions in the UAE”.

“While this window suits our purpose, we are closely working with different boards toward minimizing date clashes,” he added.

Usmani further said that they are working closely with Cricket Australia, Cricket South Africa and other cricket boards to minimise any major scheduling clashes.

“We are working with Cricket Australia, in fact, we are in touch with all the relevant cricket boards, to minimize any major clashes,” Usmani said.”

“We do want Australian as well as any other available players to be involved with the league. Our team has been working alongside players, players’ agents, and various boards to seek and secure the necessary approvals for those identified to participate in the league’s inaugural edition,” he said.

Meanwhile, in the International League T20 (ILT20), which will be the second most lucrative T20 league after the Indian Premier League (IPL) in terms of player remuneration, the teams will have 9 overseas along with two local players in the playing XI.
