The second season of the ILT20 will run more or less concurrently with the second season of the SA20 league in South Africa, and will overlap with the BBL, too. That aside, there's England's five-Test tour of India starting January 25, which could force players like Root and Wood to leave the ILT20 early.
The only T20s I like are The Blast and SA20 so won't be watching this.
