Adil Rashid is latest ILT20 wildcard

England's ODI and T20 World Cup winning leg-spinner Adil Rashid has become the latest wildcard selection for the DP World ILT20 Season 2.

Rashid will be making his tournament debut for Sharjah Warriors. He is the third player to have been signed as a Wildcard this season.

Australia's big-hitter Tim David made his tournament and MI Emirates debut on Saturday against the Dubai Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium.

England batter Dan Lawrence was picked as a Wildcard by Desert Vipers. He featured in the Vipers' tournament opener against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in Dubai on Sunday.

The Wildcard system was introduced by the DP World ILT20 as an additional squad selection option for the franchises.  

Each franchise is permitted to add up to two additional players to its squad, beyond the original limit of 22 players. This is an option and not mandatory.

If franchises have already reached the maximum $2.5 million salary spend, they will be permitted to spend a maximum of 10 per cent of the salary cap which is $ 250,000 on wildcard players.

If teams still have some room within the original maximum $2.5 million salary spend, they will be able to spend that remaining amount and if required, a further amount up to $ 250,000 while remaining within the wildcard player spend.

Wildcard players may come into the tournament at any stage during the season.
