The Guardians were announced as one of the league's inaugural franchises on May 11, 2026, and—alongside the Belfast Irish Wolves—they represent the Republic of Ireland. The franchise is owned by former Indian captain and T20 World Cup-winning coach Rahul Dravid, who acquired a major stake in the team. Former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin serves as both the captain and mentor of the franchise.
