The build-up to the widely anticipated Abu Dhabi T10 has powered into gear with tickets officially going on sale.
Moving to the nation’s capital for the next five years, the tournament will see the likes of England’s ICC World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan, alongside Australian star Shane Watson, West Indian Andre Russell, Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga and Darren Sammy light up the Zayed Cricket Stadium from 15-24 November.
The 90-minute format has proven to be a smash hit with fans, who are now gearing up for some of the fastest and biggest-hitting cricket to land in the United Arab Emirates in a few short weeks.
“We are expecting vibrant interest in ticket sales right from the start, so it’s an incredibly exciting time for us to be hosting this format in Abu Dhabi for the first time,” said Abu Dhabi Cricket CEO Matthew Boucher.
“Apart from the final on 24 November, every match day boasts a triple header of matches, giving fans an incredible and unique opportunity to watch 66 world-class players battle it out on any given evening. That’s why we love this format - explosive cricketing entertainment mixed with cultural performances all in an explosive five-hour evening. It’s going to be action-packed right from the start.”
Other big-ticket performances throughout the tournament will include the Northern Warriors beginning their title defence against the Maratha Arabians on the opening day, which will also see Eoin Morgan lead the Delhi Bulls into battle against the Deccan Gladiators, while Shahid Afridi makes his return to T10 for new entrants Qalandars in their early quest for glory.
Tickets went on sale following the strategic partnership announcement with Etihad Airways, the tournament’s official Airline Partner, which will bring fans from around the globe to Abu Dhabi. All Abu Dhabi T10 matches will be telecast live on the Sony Network’s enormous Indian viewer base of 700 million on the Sony Six and Sony Ten 3 channels.
