The much-anticipated ninth edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 will take place from November 18 to 30 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium, promising yet another action-packed season of the world’s fastest cricket format. With several new franchises joining the league and global icons such as Faf du Plessis, Harbhajan Singh, Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Shimron Hetmyer, and Piyush Chawla featuring this year, the tournament is set to captivate fans once again.
All eight franchises have finalized their squads, blending seasoned international stars with exciting young prospects. The line-ups are stacked with all-rounders, explosive hitters, and quality spinners, setting the stage for a fierce battle to claim the coveted T10 crown.

T10 Team Highlights: Power-Packed Squads and Iconic Additions
The Ajman Titans have made impressive signings, bringing in India’s veteran spinner Piyush Chawla, alongside Moeen Ali, Rilee Rossouw, and Alex Hales. The combination of attacking batting and tactical spin depth makes the Titans one of the most balanced units this season.
The Aspin Stallions, featuring Harbhajan Singh, have crafted a strong debut lineup. Harbhajan’s wealth of experience, coupled with Sam Billings’ tactical nous, Tymal Mills’ pace, and Andre Fletcher’s explosive hitting, could make them a dark horse in this year’s tournament.
Meanwhile, the Deccan Gladiators look fearsome on paper with Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, and Marcus Stoinis leading the charge. Their blend of power and versatility — backed by David Wiese’s all-round capabilities — gives them one of the most balanced squads in the competition.
The Delhi Bulls, fronted by Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine, have once again built a squad full of match-winners. The presence of Tim David, Rovman Powell, and Phil Salt ensures the Bulls pack a serious punch in the batting department.

Exciting New Entrants and Fan Favorites Return
The Northern Warriors boast a world-class roster featuring Shimron Hetmyer, Trent Boult, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Dinesh Chandimal, offering a perfect blend of pace, spin, and power-hitting.
New franchise Quetta Qavalry has made a strong start, signing the likes of Liam Livingstone, Jason Holder, and Imran Tahir, combining explosive batting with world-class all-round and spin options.
The Royal Champs enter the fray with seasoned names such as Jason Roy, Angelo Mathews, Shakib Al Hasan, and Chris Jordan, while the Vista Riders have bolstered their squad with Faf du Plessis, Matthew Wade, and India’s World Cup-winning pacer S. Sreesanth.
Shaji Ul Mulk praised the growth of the tournament and the quality of players joining this season:
