Joe Clarke, Alex Hales and Colin Munro will all return to the ILT20 when the competition returns to the UAE for a second season this winter.

Hales was the tournament's top scorer as his Desert Vipers side reached the final, hitting 469 runs, with five fifties and one century.

His score of 110 against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders was the first ton in ILT20 history, and remains the competition's highest score.

Hales will be joined at Vipers once more by Munro, with the right-hander having amassed 209 runs during his maiden season.

Clarke, meanwhile, returns to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders having hit two fifties during the last campaign.

The competition will begin on 13 January 2024.
