The T Ten Global Sports, organisers of the Abu Dhabi T10 and US-based SAMP Army Cricket Franchise, announced the inaugural season of the US Masters T10 league in the United States in Dallas, Texas, on Sunday, 7 May.

The new thrilling format of 10-over matches will have legendary cricketers who have retired from the international format playing the league.

Talking about the tournament, Ritesh Patel, the owner of the SAMP Army Cricket Franchise and one of the organisers of the American edition of T10 League, said, “Excited to bring this fast, explosive cricket format to the USA. Players participating in this tournament have huge following all over the globe, and this is a great opportunity for American fans to witness this for the first time on American soil.”

The Indian Masters T10 league was announced in March and is scheduled to take place in June, with cricketers like Mohammad Kaif and Robin Uthappa expected to be a part of it.

After six editions of the Abu Dhabi T10 and an upcoming Indian Masters League in June, T Ten Global Sports, under the leadership of businessman Sahji Ul Mulk, has decided to bring the league to the USA for its inaugural edition.

The launch of the US Masters T10 League saw in attendance cricketers like Corey Anderson, Misbah Ul Haq, Shiv Narain Chanderpaul and other USA National and Domestic players.

“It’s a great honour to be a part of this format in the US, especially at this age. Everyone wants the older players to play again, so US Masters T10 will be a success”, Misbah Ul Haq.

US sporting stars are also joining by buying ownership within teams in an attempt to introduce the sport of cricket to the audience in America.

NBA Superstar Spencer Dinwiddie is joining the Morrisville Unity team.

“I am super excited to be a part of the US Masters T10 League and working alongside Shaji Ul Mulk and Ritesh Patel, that are introducing this growing international sport of Cricket to America,” Dinwiddie said.

The league will see 6 Teams competing in the new fastest Cricket format.
