Star-Studded Lineup and Player Availability Challenges

ILT20 2025 will showcase several T20 superstars, including Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Nicholas Pooran. New signings like Jason Roy, Fakhar Zaman, and Matthew Wade will make their debut this season.

However, the tournament coincides with other leagues, including BBL, BPL, and SA20. This overlap may cause player availability issues, with some players participating late or for limited durations.
