Zimbabwe Cricket Announces Launch Of Six-Team T10 Tournament

Zimbabwe Cricket has announced the creation of its first privately owned franchise league, a T10 competition, in partnership with Mulk International, the organization responsible for the creation of the Abu Dhabi T10.

The Zim Afro T10 will be the name of the six-team competition, which is scheduled to take place in March 2023. The sixth season of the Abu Dhabi T10, which has been played since 2017, has just concluded.

The competition will begin with six teams going head-to-head, and it will take place in March of the following year. It is anticipated that further information will be released in the following days, including the participating teams, player auction dates, fixtures, and other specifics.

The league is anticipated to work wonders for the development of cricket in the African nation since the majority of other nations have already begun their own franchise leagues and are seeing positive results from it.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Cricket’s chairman, Tavengwa Mukuhlani, was overjoyed to announce the commencement of the new league and acknowledged the present cricketing world’s expectations.

“We are pleased to announce the introduction of Zimbabwe’s own franchise-based T10 league, a powerful format that we believe is exactly what our changing, fast-paced world needs right now,” Tavengwa Mukuhlani, ZC Chairman, said.

Zimbabwe recently put on a spectacular performance in the T20 World Cup 2022:

Zimbabwean cricket has not been exempt from the country’s economic problems; the sport has lurched through a severe debt crisis, a temporary ban on its administration at the ICC, and the expulsion of some of its most famous players (Heath Streak and Brendan Taylor) due to their involvement in corruption.

However, the sport appears to be taking off after Zimbabwe’s men’s team advanced to the T20 World Cup Super 12s and their women’s team narrowly missed qualifying for the tournament to be held in South Africa in 2023.

With more international games on the horizon, Zimbabwe is attempting to break into the lucrative league scene, and as a result of their South African neighbors’ launch of the SA20, an all-owned IPL T20 league, they have also entered the T10 market.

The tournament is slated to start on March 29, 2023, with the participating franchises, player auction dates, fixtures, and other specifics to be revealed at a later time.
