The Yas Lions have arrived. Featuring Jason Holder, David Willey, James Vince and Dasun Shanaka, the franchise takes its place within a significant new chapter for Abu Dhabi T10 following its transition to government ownership and management, supported by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council and Emirates Cricket Board. The squad’s prowess in the shortest format will test itself from November 7 through November 20, when the tournament features 32 matches of high intensity cricket.
The Yas Lions open their campaign against defending champions UAE Bulls on November 7 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium. Six franchises will compete in a double round robin league stage, with each side playing ten matches. The tournament’s new structure and leadership mark a departure from its previous iterations, setting the stage for what promises to be an invigorating display of T10 cricket in Abu Dhabi’s sporting calendar. The team finishing first in the standings will qualify directly for the final, while the second and third placed teams will contest the qualifier on November 20.
