Understanding the Abu Dhabi T10 Format
The Abu Dhabi T10 offers cricket’s shortest format with just 10-over matches. Emirates Cricket Board approves this professional league for the 2025 season. ICC has sanctioned the tournament officially since 2018 making it legitimate.
Franchises can include a maximum of ten international players in their squads currently. Overseas stars from different countries participate making it competitive and exciting. Shaji Ul Mulk founded this league to promote local talent originally.
The venues provide world-class facilities for players and fans attending matches. Sheikh Zayed Stadium hosts all 2025 tournament games at one location.
Controversies Surrounding the League
The league has faced serious integrity questions recently unfortunately. ICC charged multiple individuals with corruption in 2023 which raised concerns. Some suspicious player performances during matches sparked match-fixing investigations immediately.
These controversies haven’t stopped the 2025 tournament from happening though. The league continues growing its viewership despite ongoing scrutiny from authorities. Fans hope the Abu Dhabi T10 maintains clean cricket standards going forward.
