International League T20 Season 4 Auction Set for September 30 in Dubai
Upcoming Auction for Season 4 of the International League T20
The Player Auction for the fourth season of the International League T20 is scheduled to take place on September 30 in Dubai. Each of the six participating teams will have the chance to recruit 13 players, totaling 78 new additions to their rosters.
Teams must complete their registration by September 10. The franchises will collectively have a budget of 4.8 million US dollars for the auction. Further details regarding team budgets, auction order, and the list of available players will be released soon.
ILT20 CEO David White expressed excitement about the auction, stating, “We are thrilled to announce the auction date for Season 4. This event marks a significant milestone for our league as we strive to establish ourselves as a premier T20 tournament. It presents a fantastic opportunity for franchises to enhance their squads with both local and international talent. The upcoming ACC Asia Cup 2025, taking place from September 9-28 in the UAE, will also provide UAE players with a platform to showcase their skills ahead of the auction.”
White also mentioned the third edition of the ILT20 Development Tournament, which will commence later this month, as another opportunity for local players to shine before the auction.
