T20 World Cup: JP Duminy, who will be seen as Sharjah Warriorz head coach in the upcoming ILT20 tournament, believes the performances in the competition starting on Tuesday will play an influential role in shaping the selection of various players who are eyeing to play the next year’s T20 World Cup for their respective countries.

The fourth season of the ILT20 was brought forward to avoid a clash with the T20 World Cup, set to take place from February 7 to March 8, 2026, in India and Sri Lanka. “I think every opportunity for international cricketers will have an influence, and we have some superstars really in this tournament that have had a big influence on international cricket already.”

“I think this will certainly bode well for their careers and opportunities for selection if not picked already for international cricket. The standard of this tournament is of a really high standard, and you have some really good players that are playing in this tournament and have played here before.”
