The International League T20 (ILT20) will hold its Season 4 Player Auction on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, in Dubai. In the upcoming auction, each of the six teams will be allowed to add 13 players to their squad. In total, 78 players will be picked at the auction.
The total purse for all six teams is USD 4.8 million. This amount includes money left from earlier signings. Details about each team’s budget, the auction order, and the full list of players will be shared soon.
Chance for UAE Players to Shine in ILT20 2025
ILT20 CEO David White said the auction is a big moment for the league. He said it will help the teams add both local and international talent. He also mentioned that the ACC Asia Cup 2025, held in the UAE from 9 to 28 September, will be a huge chance for UAE players to show their skills. They will play against some of the best T20 teams in the world.
Before the auction, the league will also hold the third ILT20 Development Tournament. This will give local players another chance to impress team scouts.
The auction is the second part of team building. Earlier this month, all six teams picked or retained eight players each.
