Abu Dhabi T10 League 2022: Today, a two-game set will kick off Abu Dhabi T10 2022. While Deccan Gladiators will compete against Team Abu Dhabi, the home team, Bangla Tigers will face off against the New York Strikers.
Four additional teams are competing in this tournament: The Chennai Braves, Northern Warriors, Delhi Bulls, and Morrisville Samp Army. No Indian player is permitted by the BCCI to compete in overseas competitions.
