Dubai Capitals name their squad ahead of GSL
Kaieteur Sports – The champions of the International League T20 (ILT20), Dubai Capitals, have officially lit the fuse ahead of the 2025 edition of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) with a fiery squad announcement.
From the golden sands of Dubai to the emerald fields of Guyana, the Capitals are bringing a sizzling mix of international flair, Caribbean power, and pure cricketing firepower. The action explodes at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence from July 10 to 18, and the Capitals are out to prove why they wear the ILT20 crown.
Joining them is none other than Rovman Powell, the former West Indies T20 skipper and ILT20 Final MVP, known for detonating bowling attacks and lighting up scoreboards. He’ll be the heartbeat of the Capitals’ offensive, and fans can expect fireworks every time he steps to the crease.
Backing him up is Barbados’ brutal batting weapon Kadeem Alleyne, alongside the lightning pace and experience of Dominic Drakes, the left-arm quick who will lead the Capitals’ bowling blitz. Add Pakistani paceman Farhan Khan, Canadian left-arm quick Kaleem Sana-Ur-Rahman, and UAE’s Zeeshan Naseer to the mix, and this squad is a thunderstorm waiting to happen.
In the middle, the Capitals are bringing global precision with Sri Lankan gloveman Niroshan Dickwella, Afghanistan’s dynamic batter Sediqullah Atal, and South African spin magician Keshav Maharaj, who’ll turn up the heat with guile and grit in Providence’s spin-friendly conditions.
The Capitals’ campaign ignites with a blockbuster opening clash against the Hobart Hurricanes XI on Friday, July 11 – a matchup sure to rattle the stands.
This year’s GSL features five of the world’s finest franchises: Hobart Hurricanes XI (Australia), Rangpur Riders (Bangladesh), Central Stags (New Zealand), and the ever-dangerous hosts, Guyana Amazon Warriors (West Indies).
Dubai Capitals Squad (GSL 2025): Farhan Khan, Aryaman Varma, Zeeshan Naseer, Rovman Powell, Kaleem Sana-Ur-Rahman, Said Shah, Ibrahim Masood, Sediqullah Atal, Kadeem Alleyne, Gulbadin Naib, Keshav Maharaj, Niroshan Dickwella, Jesse Bootan, Dominic Drakes, Jordan Johnson.
