“The Gulf Giants have quickly become one of the ILT20’s most successful teams. My goal is to empower players to excel and help shape a championship-winning squad through the first ever ILT20 auction,” said Trott.

Bond added: “The team’s ambition is clear. I’m excited to sharpen our bowling attack and make a decisive impact this season.”

The ILT20 will coincide with parts of the SA20 in South Africa and Big Bash League in Australia.
