The Abu Dhabi T10, set to relaunch in November 7, 2026, has begun its countdown with strong representation from Pakistan and the Caribbean. The tournament, owned by the Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub (ADCSH) with support from the Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), has undergone a significant transformation this year, aiming to move away from disjointed efforts of previous seasons.
Five new team owners were announced for the 2026 season, including UAE Bulls, Yas Lions, Royal Desert Champions, Arabian Aces, and United Tigers. The player selection process, held at Yas Island, saw the allocation of some of the most in-demand short-format players to the six teams. Notably, Pakistan names are scattered across all franchises, compared to just five in the ILT20.
Matt Boucher, CEO of ADCSH and Abu Dhabi T10, emphasized the foundation laid for a new cricket structure, focusing on long-term partnerships and organic growth.
