Dubai [UAE], October 1 (ANI): The second edition of the International League T20 Development Tournament will begin at the ICC Academy Oval 1 on Sunday. Like last year, six teams will compete in the 18-match tournament that will be played on a single-league basis. The teams were selected via a draft last week – each of the six sides comprises 15 players and includes UAE’s star national players and ILT20 participants.
The tournament will be another opportunity for UAE’s future stars to showcase their talent and impress the six ILT20 franchises ahead of Season 3 which will be played in January-February 2025. The six tournament squads were chosen via a Player Selection Draft which was conducted at the Dubai International Stadium last week.
At the end of the tournament, another round of the Player Selection Draft will take place. Each of the six ILT20 franchises will complete their UAE selections (minimum of four per squad) for Season 3 by choosing the remaining players for Season 3 – two per team. A total of 12 UAE players were retained by teams in the ILT20 Season 3 Retention Window. As such, a total of 12 additional players can be picked in the post-ILT20 Development Tournament, Player Selection Draft.
