Abu Dhabi T10 League Gets New Management, Season to Begin on November 7

The Abu Dhabi T10 cricket league, the first of its kind among T10 leagues worldwide, is gearing up for an exciting new chapter after being taken over by a government-run organization. Previously, T Ten Sports Management held the reins, but now the Abu Dhabi Cricket and Sports Hub (ADCSH) has stepped in, taking a majority stake along with the commercial rights. 

 

With this new setup, ADCSH will oversee the tournament, backed by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB). 

 

The Vice Chairman of the ECB, Khalid Al Zarooni, emphasized that this transition represents “strengthened governance, institutional credibility, and a clear growth strategy for the sport’s fastest format.” He also mentioned that fans can expect thrilling matches featuring star players, enhancing the global appeal of the sport. 

 

“The Emirates Cricket Board supports the new framework of Abu Dhabi Sports Council and Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub, now in place for the Abu Dhabi T10.”
