We’re looking forward to an action-packed few days as the Emirates Airline T20 Tournament gets underway at the ICC Academy in Dubai tomorrow.

Great to secure some pre-tournament coverage on Sky Sports News – who’s going to secure the title this year? 

The line up includes the hugely popular Zalmi Foundation and Lahore Qalanders from the Pakistan Super League, plus top English sides; Lancashire Lightning, Durham Jets, MCC England XI and the Birmingham Bears.

Star players include Ian Bell, Jimmy Anderson, Paul Collingwood, Liam Plunket, Graham Onions and Ben Ducket.

The Emirates T20 Tournament is managed by Sporta Group in collaboration with presenting partner Emirates Airline and supported by Dubai Sports Council.
