ILT20 2025 Complete Squads and Schedule for All Teams

The UAE is in for another exciting season of the International League T20 (ILT20 2025) as six powerhouse teams with star-studded squads vie for the coveted title. The third edition of this adrenaline-fueled tournament commences on January 11th, with the defending champions, MI Emirates, clashing against Dubai Capitals in a much-anticipated match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.  

Teams and Format

Six teams will feature in the ILT20 2025:

• Abu Dhabi Knight Riders
• Desert Vipers
• Dubai Capitals
• Gulf Giants
• MI Emirates
• Sharjah Warriors

The tournament would be an electrifying IPL style format. Teams would play all other teams twice in the league stage, giving the tournament ample competition and thrills. Qualifier 1 would feature the top two at the end of the league, and the team that wins gets a direct shot at the title.

Teams finishing third and fourth will contest an eliminator, and the winner of that game will go through to face the loser of Qualifier 1 for the second ticket in the grand finale.
