The DP World International League T20 superstars are fully prepared to thrill fans when the tournament kicks off on Friday 13 January 2023 at Dubai International Stadium. The cricket lovers will not only enjoy the entertaining cricket but also hear the action described by some of the most notable names in the cricket world.
DP World ILT20 announced the illustrious panel of commentators in December and has added another major addition to the list just ahead of the competition. Former Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag, who has scored over 17,000 international runs, will name the blockbuster DP World ILT20, which will be staged in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah from 13 January to 12 February 2023.
“I am very happy to be part of the commentary team of ILT20. The teams in the tournament are balanced and each of the franchises has many exciting players. I'm sure it's going to be a great tournament and I feel very privileged to have a chance to call the action," Sehwag told reporters in the pre-league press conference.
The ILT20 commentary panel for the inaugural season includes Ian Bishop, Simon Doull, David Lloyd, David Gower, Wasim Akram, Mohammad Azharuddin, Harbhajan Singh, Waqar Younis and Niall O'Brien.
The panel will also feature some of the Indian subcontinent's most popular commentators and experts, including Russel Arnold, Rohan Gavaskar, Laxman SivaRamakrishnan, Saba Karim, Nikhil Chopra, Vivek Razdan, WV Raman, S Sriram and Vidyut SivaRamakrishnan.
Former Indian captain Anjum Chopra, who contested 12 Tests, 127 ODIs and 18 T20Is for India between 1995 and 2012, and high-profile sports presenter Natalie Germanos are the two female commentators in the list.
Over 100 international players have been signed to take part in the tournament.
The six teams of the ILT20 are Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Desert Vipers, Dubai Capitals, Gulf Giants, MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriors.
