“DP World ILT20 is at an inflection point. My role is: to compete and deliver and help build a learning environment across the league. A real win would be to see young UAE and Gulf players leave each season with stronger routines and have a clearer read of the game. If we get those fundamentals right, I would feel I have contributed.”- Ashwin
