ILT20 moves its schedule for T20 World Cup
- Published
The fourth season of International League T20 (ILT20) will be staged one month earlier than previous editions to avoid a clash with the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The franchise T20 tournament, held in the United Arab Emirates, will begin on 2 December, the country's National Day.
It retains its 34-game format, with six teams competing to reach a final on 4 January.
India and Sri Lanka will host the T20 World Cup in February.
The ILT20 has previously clashed with a number of other T20 competitions, including Australia's Big Bash League, South Africa's SA20 and the Bangladesh Premier League.
The SA20 has also moved for the World Cup, beginning on 26 December as opposed to 9 January in its previous season, while the other tournaments are yet to announce their schedules.
Numerous English players competed in the last edition of ILT20, including current internationals Phil Salt, Sam Curran, Tom Banton, Rehan Ahmed and Jordan Cox.
