Marcus Stoinis: Australian cricketer Marcus Stoinis is joining the UAE’s ILT20, where he will play for Sharjah Warriors in the tournament which starts on January 13th.
The tournament, which is set to take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will feature some of the top T20 players from around the world, and Stoinis’ inclusion in the Sharjah Warriors’ roster further solidifies the team’s position as a major contender in the competition.
Marcus Stoinis will be the second Australian cricketer to participate in the inaugural edition of the tournament following Chris Lynn, who will be joining Gulf Giants after playing 11 games for Adelaide Strikers in the current BBL.
The tournament is set to begin in the coming months and all eyes will be on Stoinis and the Sharjah Warriors as they look to make a strong start in the competition.
Participation of Marcus Stoinis
Stoinis is no stranger to T20 cricket, having become a key finisher for the Australian national team in recent years
It is unclear if Marcus Stoinis’ involvement in the ILT20 will be similar to Chris Lynn’s, with the player split between the BBL and the ILT20.
Currently, Marcus Stoinis’ team Melbourne Stars is at the bottom of the BBL table, and it’s likely that he will join the ILT20 when the league stage of the BBL ends on January 25th.
However, there is still a chance for the Stars to qualify for the finals as five teams will advance, which means that Stoinis’ participation in the ILT20 is still uncertain.
