History

The idea of an international T20 league has been around for many years. Meanwhile, there were various proposals put forward by cricket boards around the world. In 2015, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced plans to create an international T20 league. Meanwhile, this would feature eight teams representing different regions of the world. However, the plans fell through due to various logistical issues.

In 2018, the plans were revived. Meanwhile, ICC announced that it was exploring the possibility of launching an international T20 league in 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the plans were delayed once again. As of now, no concrete plans have been announced for the launch of the league.

Format

The proposed format of the International League T20 would involve eight teams representing different regions of the world. The teams would play a total of 56 matches over a period of six weeks, with the top four teams advancing to the knockout stage of the tournament. The knockout stage would consist of two semi-finals and a final, with the winner being crowned the ILT20 champion.

Revenues

The proposed league is expected to generate massive revenues. Moreover, ICC hoping to attract major broadcasting deals and sponsorships. The league would also attract huge crowds, with the best T20 players from around the world competing against each other.
