ILT20 to start in November in search of clear window
· Yahoo Sports
The ILT20 franchise league will move forward again this winter with its opening match to be played on 22 November.

The fourth edition of the T20 league ran from 4 December to 2 January last winter, having been brought forward to avoid a clash with the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
This year's tournament will run from 22 November to 20 December.
Organisers hope it will mean a clearer window for players, though England have a T20 series in Australia between 21 November and 2 December.
The ILT20, held in the United Arab Emirates, has previously clashed with the Big Bash in Australia and South Africa's SA20.
Last year's Big Bash ran from 14 December to 25 January, while the SA20 is expected to be played from early January next year.
England all-rounder Sam Curran led Desert Vipers to their first title in last year's ILT20.
Phil Salt, Tom Banton and Jordan Cox, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Dan Lawrence, Moeen Ali and a host of other England players also featured.
Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka and West Indies trio Nicholas Pooran, Sherfane Rutherford and Andrew Russell were among the international names.
