The organisers of the new UAE T20 League are talking with Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa about how to keep their schedules away from clashing as much as possible. The ILT20 league will start in January of 2019.

The tournament should take place between January and February, according to the general secretary of the Emirates Cricket Board.

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

Cricket Australia is worried about the value of the ILT20 because many players who used to play in the BBL now want to play in the UAE league.

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

“We do want Australian as well as any other available players to be involved with the league.”

Moeen Ali, Dawid Malan, Chris Jordan, Andre Russel, Mueeb Ur Rahman, and many more well-known T20 players have joined the ILT20.

He said, “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.”
