No David Warner but Chris Lynn signs up for new Emirati T20 league

09.08.2022 - 09:07 timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Chris Lynn will play Twenty20 cricket in the United Arab Emirates rather than his home Big Bash League (BBL) early next year, but David Warner was not included among the marquee players announced by the new International League T20 (ILT20).

Media reports had strongly linked Warner with a spot in the ILT20, which clashes with the Cricket Australia-owned BBL but is bankrolled in part by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise owners and pays better.

In the event, Lynn was the only Australian on the list of 21 marquee players named late on Monday by the ILT20, in which up to 12 of the 18 members of each team squad can be from outside the country.

Bit-hitting Lynn, once one of the major stars of BBL but recently dropped by the Brisbane Heat for the next edition, will need the permission of Cricket Australia in the shape of a "No Objection Certificate" to play in the UAE.

Chris Lynn To Play In Both BBL And UAE's ILT20

Australian batter Chris Lynn is set to feature in 11 matches in the Big Bash League before heading to the UAE to play in the inaugural International League T20 (ILT20) after signing a ground-breaking deal that will allow him to split time between the two overlapping tournaments.

Chris Lynn signs groundbreaking part-season Big Bash deal

Chris Lynn will play both his home Big Bash League (BBL) and in the new Twenty20 cricket league in the United Arab Emirates early next year after signing a groundbreaking part-season deal with the Adelaide Strikers. Bit-hitting Lynn, the highest run-scorer in the BBL but dropped by the Brisbane Heat after the last edition, was announced as one of the marquee players in the International League T20 (ILT20) earlier this month. Cricket Australia, which owns the BBL, could have denied Lynn the "no objection certificate" he needs to play in the ILT20 but have taken a pragmatic approach in an increasingly competitive player market. The 32-year-old top order batter will be available for only 11 of the Strikers' 14 regular season games before heading off to the UAE in mid January to play in the ILT20 with CA's blessing. "Cricket Australia welcomes the Adelaide Strikers' signing of Chris Lynn for 11 out of 14 games in the upcoming season," a CA spokesperson said.
