The T10 is planning to grow and make its mark around the world . Asia and Africa are the next continents to be included in the growing movement .
Abu Dhabi, December 7 : Following the successful completion of the sixth season of Abu Dhabi T10, the fastest form of cricket is planning to grow and make its mark around the world, with continents including Asia and Africa being named as the next pit stops in what promises to be a storied journey.This is a very exciting moment for African nations, and we are very excited about how we will be a part of it.For us in Africa, the franchises coming here will open up the doorway for us to do much more.With the help of this alliance, we will be able to compete with the big boys in a few years.According to a press release from T10, Kwame Asare, Chairman of the African Cricket Association, says the most important thing is to give the youth the opportunity to play at the highest level with their icons.
We have all adopted this methodology, both athletes and fans, both men and women, and we want this movement to flourish from here.On the other hand, qualifying for the T20 World Cup after a while was a big deal for us, because it has boosted the nation's mood and the supporters, especially after the victory against Pakistan.The T10 has just reignited in popularity among fans and the cricket community, according to Tevengwa Mukuhlani, Chairman of Zimbabwe Cricket.The T10 aims to actively attract nations around the world, encouraging youngsters to participate in the sport.Although bringing more cricketers to the sport is one aspect of the movement, the T10 bandwagon is also geared toward attending more fans to the sport, especially the younger generation. I think franchise cricket and leagues in T20 and T10 have taken over the world in recent years, with cricketers and fans reacting to it as a fish does to water, Shaji Ul Mulk, Chairman of the TTen Global Sports, said.I think the league and bilateral cricket are both very different and have their own place in the hearts of the players.With the T10, we aim to recruit a new audience, engage more of the youth, and there are a lot of countries that don't follow cricket as much as we do.We need a 90-minute format to further develop the sport in these countries, as the first-ever edition of this exciting tournament was held in 2017, with the International Cricket Council officially recognizing the Abu Dhabi T10. Moreover, the T10's success has made it possible to host the tournament in Abu Dhabi for the sixth season, with two new teams from the United States playing in the New York Strikers and the Morrisville SAMP Army competing in second and third positions.Although the Middle East, Asia, and Africa are already included, we also want to bring the Americas and Europe under our umbrella, said Shaji Ul Mulk.The T10 movement aims not only at bringing on board more countries that are not traditionally involved in cricket, but also looks closely at the Summer Olympics, the absolute pinnacle of sporting excellence.The whole thing is time-bound, because the ICC cannot be present for a certain number of days.I think it is therefore inevitable that T10 would be the answer to this because of its shorter duration, particularly because it is a 90-minute overall game, according to Cassim Suliman, CEO of the African Cricket Association.
