The DP World ILT20 will take a big leap this year with its first-ever player auction, moving ahead of the draft system. The auction for Season 4 will be held today, October 1, 2025, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Jumeirah Beach, Dubai. All six franchises will gather in one room to battle for signatures as they look to complete their squads ahead of the tournament beginning on December 2.
Unlike previous editions that relied on direct signings, this will be the first time the ILT20 adopts a structured auction system, bringing an IPL-style edge to team building. Franchises will need to balance strategy and budgets carefully, with strict squad composition rules ensuring space for Full Member stars, UAE players, and Associate Nation cricketers. Incidentally, this year’s auction will see Ravichandran Ashwin go under the hammer, as he is marked with the most expensive signing. Dinesh Karthik has already joined Sharjah Warriors yesterday.
