SAT20 League vs ILT20 League: Who is Moeen Ali playing for? Apparently, both South Africa T20 League and UAE T20 League are confused. Even though both SAT20 League and International League T20 will clash, he has been named in the roster of both. He is in the roster of Johannesburg Super Kings in the SAT20 League and in the Sharjah Warriors’ roster for ILT20. Follow IPL 2023 Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan was surprised and miffed with Capri Global-owned Sharjah Warriors naming him in the roster. Moeen Ali was signed up on a $400,000 contract at SAT20 League, the second most expensive after Liam Livingstone and Jos Buttler.
“We just came to know. We will find out from the player,” Viswanathan told Cricbuzz.

The matter of fact is that, if he signs up for CSA T20 League, he will not be able to play for UAE T20 League or vice versa. Both leagues will run simultaneously during the January-February window. But as per reports, Moeen has already confirmed his participation for UAE T20 League whenever he is not playing for England.
InsideSport understands that CSK will hold talks with Moeen Ali to understand, “What’s going on.”
“It has completely taken us by surprise to be honest. It was a done deal with Moeen. We came to know when the Sharjah team announced their squad. We are holding talks with Moeen to understand what is really going on. For sure, he cannot play for both,” a CSK official told InsideSport.
