The star-studded Abu Dhabi T10 League is set to commence on Thursday, November 21. It’s the eighth edition of the tournament and it has survived this far with two new teams being added ahead of the season tells you that it has created a niche for itself. T10 Leagues are emerging all over the globe but the ease of travel and the October-November window means that original Abu Dhabi one has attracted T20 superstars worldwide and with the likes of Jos Buttler, Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell, the eighth edition promises nothing short of a cracker.
Ajman Jolts and UP Nawabs are the two new sides. With the talent pool expanding beyond traditional centres like Australia, England, West Indies, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa, the players are available and since the Test season is going on, most of the current international white-ball stars are also in the mix. Since, Karthik is also there, the Indian audiences will be tuned in for the tournament, especially since 40 matches are packed in 12 days. It will be fast, furious and entertaining, that’s for sure.
