Discussions are underway with the ICC, led by Jay Shah, to align the league with the international calendar, avoiding conflicts with existing tournaments like the IPL and BBL.
The league will feature eight franchise teams, including one from Australia, and will host both men’s and women’s competitions.
Inspired by tennis Grand Slams, matches will take place in four different locations annually, with the final set in Saudi Arabia.
If successful, this venture would further expand Saudi Arabia's sports portfolio, which already includes LIV Golf, Formula 1, and the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
