Abu Dhabi T10 League Enters New Era Under Government-Backed Management

The first T10 cricket league in the world, the Abu Dhabi T10 League, is now starting a new chapter. Earlier, the league was owned by T Ten Sports Management. Now, the Abu Dhabi Cricket and Sports Hub (ADCSH), which is run by the government, has taken control by buying the majority stake and commercial rights of the league. Under the new framework, ADCSH will manage the tournament with the support of the Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).

Addressing after a major shift in the management of the league, Chairman of the Board, ADCSH, and the General Secretary, Aref Al Awani said, “This marks a new start for a tournament that has already demonstrated global relevance in a short timeframe, while building a growing fanbase in Abu Dhabi.”

He also said that this change shows better management, stronger trust, and a clear plan to grow T10 cricket, which is the fastest format of the game. It will also bring exciting, high-energy matches with famous players, making the league more popular around the world.

The Vice Chairman of the ECB, Khalid Al Zarooni, also extended support while stating, “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.”

The Abu Dhabi T10 league will start a new chapter with a fresh plan. It will be held from November 7 to 20 at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. This will be the 10th season of the tournament and the first one after the government takeover.

Eight teams will compete over 14 days, giving fans fast and exciting matches. The organisers are also talking to new ownership groups and will share details soon through an official “Invitation to Tender” process.
