Abu Dhabi T10 League: Schedule, where to watch, match details, squads and all you need to know

The cricketing action shifts to Abu Dhabi T10 league which will get underway on Friday (November 19). Backed by the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), the 10 overs format is the only league sanctioned by cricket's governing body. This will be the fifth season of cricket’s shortest format and promises to give the audience a high dose of action and entertainment.

Like different T20 leagues across the globe, the T10 tournament has also managed to get hold of some of the biggest names in cricket, including Chris Gayle, Jason Roy, Imran Tahir, Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, Shahid Afridi, and Dwayne Bravo. These players have provided fans with some breathtaking cricket for the past four seasons.

The fifth season will see a few seasoned players like Faf du Plessis and Yusuf Pathan coming onboard for the first time. The former is ageing like a fine wine and is scoring runs for fun. The latter will remind fans of his all-around skills.

The tournament features six teams - Abu Dhabi, Delhi Bulls, Chennai Braves, Deccan Gladiators, Bangla Tigers and Northern Warriors. The matches will be played across 15 days with two Qualifiers and Eliminators played on December 3. The final will be staged on December 4. Northern Warriors are the defending champions of the T10 league.
