‘Future of cricket in UAE very bright’: Gulf Giants’ Aayan Khan

One of the players to watch out for in the upcoming International League T20 (ILT20) 2024 is young bowling all-rounder Aayan Khan, who will turn out for the Adani Sportsline-owned Gulf Giants for a second season running.
Aayan, who made history in the T20 World Cup 2022 by becoming the youngest player to play at the tournament at the age of just 16, was also a part of the Gulf Giants team that won the trophy the first time around.
The youngster is ready to help the side retain the ILT20 Trophy. “It feels great to be playing for the Gulf Giants in the second season of the ILT20, especially after winning the first season of the tournament. Having already won the trophy, retaining it is the main objective for season 2 of the mega cricket extravaganza. This team plays like a family.
Hence, the first season was a remarkable one. We enjoyed every moment,” he told the media in an interaction.
In a squad with multiple international talents, one player whom the spinner is keen on working with is Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman.
“One player I am very excited to be playing with is the Afghanistan spinner, Mujeeb Ur Rahman. He is a great spinner. I expect to learn a lot from him, especially if he is in form.”
At the same time, he also looks forward to sharing the dressing room with some of the biggest names in Caribbean cricket as well.
