Team Previews
Central Districts Preview
Central Districts, also known as the Central Stags, bring form, depth, and a strong domestic core into the GSL. Led by Tom Bruce, the team’s batting strength lies in a blend of aggression and experience.
- Bruce himself is in excellent touch, having scored 339 runs at a strike rate of 156.7 in Super Smash 2024–25.
- Will Young and Doug Bracewell provide top-order stability, while Dean Foxcroft and Curtis Heaphy offer flexibility and finishing power in the middle.
- On the bowling front, Blair Tickner, the team’s strike pacer, bagged 16 wickets last season.
- Supporting him are spinners like Jayden Lennox and Ajaz Patel, both of whom are expected to be effective on the slow Guyanese surface.
The Stags look like a complete T20 package, with multiple match-winners and a balanced squad.
Dubai Capitals Preview
The Dubai Capitals, winners of the ILT20 2025, have assembled a dynamic squad for the GSL. Although some marquee names are missing, the team is still dangerous under Rovman Powell’s leadership.
- Powell remains the key figure with the bat and as a captain. His ability to take down any bowling attack makes him a vital player.
- Kadeem Alleyne, Jordan Johnson, and Sediqullah Atal add firepower to the top order.
- Shakib Al Hasan, arguably the most experienced T20 all-rounder in the squad, will play a dual role.
- The bowling unit features Dominic Drakes, Keshav Maharaj, and Farhan Khan, giving them good variety.
However, lacking ILT20’s top-tier stars may affect their ability to dominate a well-rounded opponent like Central Districts.
