International League T20 is all set to return with season 3. At a recent event, it was announced that Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar will be the new tournament Ambassadors.

Both ambassadors come from India and Pakistan, which is interesting because both nations have a large number of cricket viewers. The league, which will be hosted in Dubai, coincides with prime viewing time in both countries.

Both bowlers have outstanding careers. Harbhajan Singh took 711 wickets, and Shoaib Akhtar, known for his aggressive style and bowling, took 444 wickets. Both former cricketers can be easily seen as commentators in matches.

David White, CEO of ILT20, discusses the UAE cricketer's role in the upcoming season and expresses his excitement about the league’s return. Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar also express their excitement about the league’s upcoming season.

"We're thrilled to welcome back Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar for the ILT20 Season 3, as their involvement continues to add immense value to the league. Season 2 was a huge success, with the level of competition and the quality of cricket on display exceeding all expectations," said White.

"We're looking forward to an even bigger and better tournament this year. We're confident this season will raise the bar further and continue to contribute to the growing reputation of UAE cricket on the international stage."
