The other participating franchises include Northern Warriors, Morrisville Samp Army, Delhi Bulls, Team Abu Dhabi, and Chennai Braves. T-Sports provides live coverage of every match, and enthusiasts can also catch the action through the T-Sports app.

Despite registering for the season, Shakib Al Hasan and star pacer Taskin Ahmed will be absent from the field due to injuries. Shakib, in addition to his physical setback, is occupied with election-related commitments.

Pooran stated, "Last season was fantastic for me. I was delighted to contribute not only as a captain but also as a batsman. My goal is to secure the trophy for another season. It is an honor to lead the Gladiators as we strive for a third trophy."

Meanwhile, Benny Howell, the English all-rounder, assumes the leadership role for Bengal Tigers this time. Howell conveyed his enthusiasm, saying, "I am pleased to lead the Bengal Tigers this year. It is a crucial year for us, and we aim to secure a position in the top four."
