As the Sydney Thunder’s captain in the 2024–25 Big Bash League (BBL), David Warner is currently playing. He will also captain the Dubai Capitals in the 2024–25 International League T20 (ILT20), though. Warner will miss some ILT20 games because the two competitions are scheduled to coincide.
But what’s the earliest David Warner can play in UAE’s premier T20 league?
Given that the Thunder’s final group stage match is on January 17, Warner’s earliest possible ILT20 matchup is against Desert Vipers on January 20.
What’s the latest Warner can play in the ILT20?
On January 27, the BBL final is set to take place. Warner may participate in the February 2 ILT20 matchup against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders if he were to play in that.
Warner may participate in the ILT20 on either of the two aforementioned dates, of course, depending on how his Sydney Thunder squad performs. Warner might be available for Dubai’s match against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders on January 26 in the ILT20 if ST loses in the Challenger or the elimination round.
ILT20 2024 champs The Dubai Capitals won a thrilling match against MI Emirates by a margin of just one run, giving them a strong start in the ILT20 2025.
