The interesting thing about ILT20 is that in each team there are going to be 14 overseas players, since the UAE doesn't have quality native players. And for the first time, players from associate nations are given a guaranteed slot. Out of the 14 overseas players, two needs to be from associate nations. That works out to a total of 84 overseas players between the six teams. This is more than the total of 80 overseas players spread across the 10 IPL franchises. For the non-Indian players, ILT20 can be hugely important.
18 member squad for each team (6 teams). Which includes 14 overseas players (Including 2 Associate players) 4 UAE players (including 1 from U23).
In Playing XI every team can add max 9 overseas (1 must be from Associate members) and 2 UAE players are must.
Looks good for associate members too.
