The sixth edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League will start from November 23. The teams will play each other in round-robin format until December 2. These will be followed by the playoffs, which include the Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2 (all on December 2), a third-place match, and the final (both on December 3). All matches will be played at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
There will be 33 matches played in 12 days among 8 teams that include star players like Dwayne Bravo, Alex Hales, Suresh Raina, David Miller, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kieron Pollard and Eoin Morgan among others. West Indies explosive Wicketkeeper batsmen Nicholas Pooran has been handed over the responsibility of captaining the side who is also their icon player as well. On the other hand, former Indian all-rounder Robin Singh has been elected as the coach of the team.Nicholas Pooran will be the number one player in this list after he did really well in this year’s Caribbean Premier League, IPL and broke to the national side to continue with his form.
Andre Russell and Lendl Simmons are the other two players as these two are amongst the hardest hitters of the white ball. Wahab Riaz will be the one to watch out for with the ball as he had a decent time in the Pakistan Super League earlier this year. He is also currently out from the Pakistan national side, so, he will have a point to prove to make a comeback in that team.
