The fifth edition of the DP World ILT20 will be held later this year, with the Desert Vipers aiming to extend their reign in the six-team tournament.
The 34-match competition will get underway on November 22 and conclude on December 20 at the Dubai International Stadium.
In the previous edition, the final was held on January 4, where Desert Vipers lifted their maiden title by defeating MI Emirates.
"The DP World ILT20 Season 4 Player Auction was a great success as well, and we are already gearing up for this year's auction," said CEO David White.
Notable cricketers who played last season included Sam Curran, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik, Pathum Nissanka, Jason Holder, Jason Roy, Kieron Pollard, Moeen Ali, Mohammad Nabi, Naseem Shah, Nicholas Pooran and Phil Salt, among others.
