KS Bharat has confirmed his move to Dubai, aiming to win white-ball titles for the UAE after retiring from international cricket. While ICC regulations mean he must wait until early 2027 to officially debut for the national team, he is preparing for the ILT20 season and has thanked key UAE officials for their backing.

  • According to UA.NEWS, Bharat is targeting the November ILT20 season and has already registered for the upcoming Development Tournament, which serves as a crucial step toward declaring his intent to represent the Emirates. He expressed gratitude to UAE coach Lalchand Rajput and ECB secretary Mubashshir Usmani for their support during this transition.
