The ILT20 is sanctioned by the Emirates Cricket Board. The league is paying up to 450,000 USDs to its top players. This makes it the second most expensive and lucrative league in the world after the IPL.
Other T20 leagues around the world are based in separate countries and have a quota for local and overseas players. Contrary to that, the ILT20 has not got any such quotas or divisions.

Desert Vipers Squad and Season Preview Betting Tips & Prediction | ILT20 2023:
Desert Vipers squad includes the following players:
Colin Munro (NEW ZEALAND) (captain), Ali Naseer, Gus Atkinson (ENGLAND), Sam Billings (ENGLAND), Dinesh Chandimal (SRILANKA), Sheldon Cottrell (WEST INDIES), Tom Curran (ENGLAND), Wanindu Hasaranga(SRILANKA), Alex Hales (ENGLAND), Benny Howell (ENGLAND), Jake Lintott (ENGLAND), Adam Lyth (ENGLAND), Tymal Mills (ENGLAND), Ronak Panoly, Matheesha Pathirana (SRILANKA), Rohan Mustafa, Sherfane Rutherford (WEST INDIES), Shiraz Ahmed, Ruben Trumpelmann (NAMIBIA), Mark Watt (SCO).
Desert Vipers have assembled a balanced squad with English and West Indian players forming the core of the Desert Vipers side.
The team is owned by Avram Glazer, the owner of Manchester United Football Club. With the purchase of desert vipers, Glazer has set foot in the cricketing world.
Star Players in the Desert Vipers squad include the captain Colin Munro, Sam Billings, Dinesh Chandimal, Sheldon Cottrell, Hasaranga, Alex Hales, Tom Curran, Tymal Mills and Sherfane Rutherford.
Despite all the big names, it would be a surprise if the team makes it to the final of the league. They have some good players, but it would be a challenge for all these players to work well together because of their different styles.
Moreover, they also lack an impactful batter who may hold the innings together. Dinesh Chandimal can play that role but he has been away from limited overs cricket for more than a year.
Alex Hales and Colin Munro will be the players to watch out for. Similarly, the all-round abilities of Wanindu Hasaranga will be crucial to the side’s balance.
Prediction:
Despite some big names, Desert Vipers may finish in the bottom two. There is a very little chance of them winning the ILT20.
