This T10 Format Can Help Expand The Game
Nine of our domestic players are off to the UAE for the new innovation in cricket with the inaugural T10 tournament beginning this week.
With the tournament taking place over just four days, it’s going to be brilliant for the game. There will be plenty of games on each day with each match scheduled to last 90 minutes – it’s perfect to entice new supporters.
People want to be able to go to games after work, or for it not to take the whole day. It’s the same length as a football match, and we all know how many people attend football up and down the country, week-in week-out.
With there being multiple games per day, it reminds me of the T20 Finals Day we have. That’s one of the best days of the domestic calendar and the atmosphere is brilliant. I’d expect it to be the same out in the Middle East across the tournament.
