New York Strikers have joined the Abu Dhabi T10 league in full force with the likes of Kieron Pollard and Eoin Morgan leading their challenge and former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh to play the role of mentor.

The addition of the New York Strikers to the tournament makes it an 8-team competition, with two teams joining the bandwagon from the USA.

The franchise has brought in former West Indies skipper Pollard as their icon player and also signed on England’s 2019 ODI World Cup-winning captain Morgan as their platinum player.

Azam Khan from Pakistan and Ireland’s Paul Stirling are the two Category A players signed on by New York Strikers.

Elated to be part of the Abu Dhabi T10, Sagar Khanna, who began his entrepreneurial journey in telecommunications with Skky Group in Hicksville and is now the sole owner of the franchise, said: “It is an extremely exciting time for our franchise as the Abu Dhabi T10 is a unique and highly-competitive tournament, bringing together elite players from across the globe. It gives us the perfect opportunity to compete against the elites of cricket and test ourselves out.”

"We have had some amount of success in the USA and we are keen to carry on in that vein over here also. As a franchise, we will do whatever it takes to ensure this is a memorable tournament for our fans and the family overall."

The Abu Dhabi T10 will kick off from the 23rd of November 2022 and will be a two-week long tournament that will see international cricket stars compete in a short and exciting 10 over format.
