DP World ILT20 Season 4 Full Commentary Panel: Fresh Names
Complementing the action on the field will be a stronger broadcast team for ILT20 Season 4. The new add-ons include former Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik, ex-India cricketer Mohammad Kaif, and former Zimbabwe captain-coach Andy Flower.
They form part of an experienced panel of commentators, offering both English and Hindi commentary-a mix of experience, insight, and regional familiarity bound to bring the matches closer to all fans.
Why does this new commentary team matter in ILT20 Season 4?
When a T20 league is replete with talent and overseas stars, quality broadcast and expert commentary make all the difference between a good show and a great one.
The addition of players-turned-commentators like Malik, Kaif, and Flower provides fresh perspectives from different cricketing cultures.
Bilingual commentary in English and Hindi helps the Indian and South Asian audience connect on a deeper level-especially meaningful, since many Indian players and fans follow ILT20 closely.
The blend of veteran voices and new talent reflects ILT20’s ambition to grow as a global-audience league rather than a Gulf-region competition.
ZEE Network, the official broadcaster, says this commentary team is “integral to delivering a world-class viewing experience” that matches the talent on the pitch.
DP World ILT20 Season 4: Tournament Preview
Get ready for an explosive season of cricket, as marquee players return from around the world, making any match crucial. Squads will have a mix of seasoned T20 veterans and rising stars from UAE, the Gulf states, and beyond.
With the compressed window of December–January to keep it away from the next ICC T20 World Cup 2026, teams have to be at their best right from Day One.
The opening match between the Dubai Capitals and Desert Vipers is a sort of final rematch that both teams are hungry to get started with.
