Nice umer,

It would be great if you can add some info such as background, points system, rules, any international players participating or not etc etc.

Some might find this useful.

The Abu Dhabi T10 League is perhaps the only truly global league among all the franchise cricket tournaments. There is no restriction regarding the overseas players and the teams are free to select anyone regardless of their nationality. Among the players, I could find representation from a huge number of countries, including England, South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka, UAE, West Indies, Nepal, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, USA, Ireland, Netherlands, Zimbabwe, Scotland.etc.

However it is sad that the BCCI is preventing Indian players from taking part. Only a few retired players are allowed to participate (Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Pravin Tambe.etc).

In my country, I can say there is no interest in Cricket sports. Therefore, it is very difficult to find a live broadcast about this sport. Is there any way to watch these matches without being bound to any legal limits?

[Haunebu]

Excited about this T-10 format. Never saw any of these matches before which is why this will be an interesting watch for me. Wonder why the BCCI is restricting Indian players from taking part in this league though. Good stuff op.

You could probably subscribe to sports channels like Star Sports etc where these matches can be viewed live. Apps like Hotstar also are useful here. You could always watch the highlights through Youtube etc.

I was checking the entire team and i see some interesting players in all the teams and Shahid Afridi and Imran Nazir in one time and they could smash the ball a long way and Chris Gayle and ABD is missing but the rest of the T20 players who play in all the major leagues are playing in this series too.
Rashid Khan is missing in the line up because of international duties if not it would be interesting how he bowls in this format and how the players are going to deal with his tight line and length.

BCCI only allows it's player to play in tournaments, where they have a financial benefits or motive. If this tournament is a success, I am sure they will replicate in Indian and start another league.

Hotstar is the best option to watch cricket matches, almost all major cricket tournaments are streamed on that platform. It is also cheap as compared to others.

Yes, all of the players are international and this is going to be an interesting series. Below is the squad of 8 teams participating.

After seeing this list, my interest has dropped considerably since this mostly caters to Pakistani audience. Was expecting many more popular international players to be involved here, but I am pretty disappointed.

Watson, Afridi, Amir, Zaheer, Morgan etc are the few appealing ones in my opinion. Will be skipping this one. I do hope there will be more T-10 style tournaments in the future though.

Finally this has been made as an international league with players from every cricket team getting placed on different teams. Morever more teams seems to represent India and few teams representing Arabian teams. Possibly this will take cricket matches to be played more commonly as the time decreases a lot than a ODI or test matches. Also this serves as a platform to identify more talents.

[sureshnsnet]

Tomorrow onwards we have daily 3 matches in t10 league, iam really excited how world class players are going to play t10 matches and what will be high score?. There is any player can make century? And more thinking  are going in my mind.

There are teams that are named after Indian states (Maratha Arabians, Deccan Gladiators, Delhi Bulls, Karnataka Tuskers.etc), but very few Indians are participating in this tournament. The BCCI has banned the participation of Indian players in foreign leagues, which I find very hard to digest. They could at least permit the domestic players to participate in these leagues. For players such as Shahbaz Ahmed, Jay Bista and Siddhesh Lad, tournaments such as this one can beneficial in both financial and skill-learning terms.

Most of the entertainment in the cricket is due to Pakistan and Indian cricketers. The matches are held is AbuDubai so you will expect a lot of Asian players to play there. This is a very short version of the game and it will be very entertaining. I think you should not miss this one.

LOL.. the Arabs don't play cricket. I still remember the 1996 World cup, in which the United Arab Emirates sent a team. Their captain was an Arab (Sultan Zarawani). There was another Arab in the team (Saeed al Saffar), and I think that was the last time UAE had any Arabs in their team. Nowadays their team is 100% composed of expats (Indians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis.etc).

Most of the Arab never do any work and therefore they do not play too. They always outsource people for everything and same is the case with their own team.  Also only they have the money to attract the players around the world to come in their country to play cricket.

Money can buy the players but not the talent and patriotism and therefore we will never see UAE team grow.

Arabs have the money and they can conduct tournaments and there is nothing wrong in that and they are trying to change their view of dictator rule and i think so is the reason they are conducting many tournaments including UFC and boxing events.

Money can buy the players but not the talent and patriotism and therefore we will never see UAE team grow.

People should consider any sport as a profession and anyone could hire these professionals if they are available. The choice of playing for their country or getting hired to play for another country depends on individual choice and if they are so talented they would get selected in the national team and people who does not have a place usually look for other opportunities.

I have seen countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia competing in Olympics and World Cup with squads made of expatriates. In most cases, athletes from Asian and African countries agree to represent these nations in exchange for a monetary reward. I was always surprised to see these Arab nations sending predominantly African squads for Olympics.

To their credit, the Arabs have spent a lot of money in building infrastructure for cricket. Especially in the United Arab Emirates, they have built so many stadiums and training facilities, which benefits cricketers from all over the world. The recently concluded 2019 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier was conducted in the United Arab Emirates, because none of the other countries could host such a big event.
