NEW YORK, October 16, 2025 — Grenadian cricketer Andre Fletcher is preparing for a hectic few months on the international T20 circuit, with three major franchise tournaments lined up across two continents.
The explosive opener, known affectionately as “The Spiceman”, will first represent the Las Vegas Aces in the inaugural Global Cricket League (GCL) T20 USA, set for October 24 to November 2, 2025, at the Moosa Cricket Stadium in Houston, Texas. The landmark tournament brings together six teams — the Houston Riders, New York Liberty, Chicago Windchasers, Miami Waves, Washington DC Eagles, and Fletcher’s Las Vegas Aces — marking a new chapter in America’s growing cricket scene.
Following his GCL commitments, Fletcher will travel to the United Arab Emirates to feature for the Aspin Stallions, a new franchise debuting in the Abu Dhabi T10 (ADT10), which runs from November 18–30, 2025. The league’s lineup includes strong competition from teams such as the Ajman Titans, Deccan Gladiators, Delhi Bulls, Northern Warriors, Quetta Qalvarya, Royal Champs, and Vista Riders.
The veteran batsman will then remain in the UAE for the 2025 International League T20 (ILT20), scheduled for December 2, 2025, to January 4, 2026, where he will again don the colours of MI Emirates. Fletcher made headlines earlier this month when he became the most expensive player at the inaugural ILT20 Player Auction, fetching a record US$260,000. MI Emirates outbid rivals to retain the Grenadian star for a fourth consecutive season, underscoring his value as one of the league’s premier short-format players.
Fletcher’s multi-tournament calendar reflects his sustained demand across the global T20 and T10 landscape. With his signature flair, power-hitting, and experience, the 37-year-old continues to carry Grenada’s cricketing flag proudly on the world stage.
