Ashwin to enter ILT20 season four player auction
Gulf Today
|September 01, 2025
After announcing his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL), former India off spin bowling all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin is set to enter the player auction for season four of UAE's ILT20.
-
Season four of the ILT20 is scheduled to be held from Dec. 2 to Jan. 4, 2026. The last date of registering for player auction is Sept. 10, while the main auction itself will be held on Sept. 30 in Dubai.
“Yes, it's true that Ashwin has sent across his name for the upcoming ILT20 auction. Apparently, a few teams have offered to sign up Ashwin if he came in the auction and it will be fascinating to see who eventually picks him for the competition,” said sources tracking the developments to IANS.
Robin Uthappa (Dubai Capitals), Yusuf Pathan (Dubai Capitals) and Ambati Rayudu (MI Emirates) are the only other Indian cricketers to have played in the ILT20, where five teams have Indian owners - three of them also operate Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
