History
The International League T20 began in January 2023 as the United Arab Emirates' first major franchise Twenty20 tournament, organised by the Emirates Cricket Board and sponsored by DP World, and it quickly drew a cast of international stars to a short, fast campaign shared across the country's three grounds.
Sharjah Cricket Stadium is the most storied of them: opened in the early 1980s, it staged decades of international one-day cricket and holds the record for the most one-day internationals played at any single venue. Its compact stands sit close to the action and generate a terrific atmosphere for floodlit Twenty20, giving ILT20 nights in Sharjah a character all their own.
Gulf Giants won the inaugural title, with MI Emirates, Dubai Capitals and the Desert Vipers all champions since. Sharjah, the UAE's cultural emirate, offers museums, souqs and a handsome Corniche, and sits right alongside Dubai for an even wider choice of things to do.
