The T20 Blast, a domestic Twenty20 cricket competition in England and Wales, allows each team to field up to two overseas players in their playing XI.

Overseas players are players who are not eligible to play for England or Wales and are not domestic players.

Having overseas players in the T20 Blast allows teams to add international quality and experience to their squads, which can be a big advantage in the highly competitive tournament.

Overseas players often bring a wealth of T20 experience from playing in various T20 leagues around the world and can help to mentor and guide young domestic players.

Over the years, many famous international players have played in the T20 Blast as overseas players, including AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, Kumar Sangakkara, and Dale Steyn.

In recent years, the league has also attracted top T20 talent from around the world, including players from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the Caribbean.

The presence of overseas players in the T20 Blast has undoubtedly enhanced the profile of the competition and has made it more exciting for cricket fans in England and Wales.
