T10 Cricket
Ten overs a side, launched in the UAE in 2017
Overview
T10 squeezes a match into about 90 minutes, the length of a football game. The first T10 League was staged at Sharjah in December 2017. Bowlers deliver five ball overs and games move at pace. The format is discussed as a possible Olympic vehicle for cricket.
