The fifth edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League is all set to kick off tomorrow, November 19 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The tournament is hosted by the Emirates Cricket Board and is the only T10 tournament approved by the cricket's governing body. The event became an instant success due to its crisp format and lesser time consumption. Several big cricketing names such as Chris Gayle, Faf du Plessis, Evin Lewis, Yusuf Pathan, Dwayne Bravo among others are part of the tournament.
Amir is not the first Pakistan player to pull out of the tournament. Earlier, former skipper Shahid Afridi also opted out due to injury. Unlike the previous editions, this year the tournament will follow the IPL template and will be played in the round-robin format.
Viewers in India can watch the matches live on Colors Cineplex SD (Hindi), Colors Cineplex HD (English), Rishtey Cineplex (Hindi). The matches can also be streamed live on Voot and Jio TV.
