Team overview

Sharjah Warriorz at a glance

Sharjah Warriorz are one of the six founding International League T20 franchises. They represent Sharjah, are owned by Capri Global Holdings through Capri Sports and play their home fixtures at the historic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Tim Southee captained JP Duminy's Season 4 side. Sharjah won three of ten league matches, lost seven and finished sixth with six points and a -0.815 net run rate, below Gulf Giants on the tie-breaker. The bottom-two finish meant there was no playoff match.

Johnson Charles led the batting with 244 runs from ten innings and a high score of 77. Tom Kohler-Cadmore made 185 and James Rew 182. Adil Rashid led the bowling with 11 wickets at a 6.76 economy rate, followed by Sikandar Raza with ten and Taskin Ahmed with nine.

Raza supplied the clearest two-skill contribution: 171 runs and ten wickets in ten matches. Sharjah's three wins came in a mid-season pair against MI Emirates and Gulf Giants, followed by a four-wicket chase against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

The franchise has completed four ILT20 seasons. It missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024, reached Qualifier 2 during its first postseason appearance in 2025, then returned to sixth in 2025/26. The separate Sharjah Warriorz Development side won the 2025 ILT20 Development Tournament.

Season 4 official roster timeline

Sharjah Warriorz 2025/26 ILT20 squad

The 30 cards preserve the complete Season 4 roster timeline rather than treating one announcement as the only squad. The ILT20's 2 December launch list supplied 26 names; official match squads also documented Kusal Mendis and Jayden Seales, while completed statistics record Monank Patel and Ryan Burl as in-season participants. This page keeps those additions visible and does not imply all 30 were available simultaneously.
