Abu Dhabi T10 chairman Shaji Ul Mulk said Abu Dhabi T10 will in due course become the top sporting event in this country. He said the big announcement on induction of Indian star player Yuvraj Singh was due.
"We are trying to get the best here. Zaheer Khan has already signed up along with 6-7 Indian players who played last year like Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar and Pravin Tambe. Yuvraj Singh is almost there. We hope to make the announcement in two-three days. We are in final stage on negotiations with him."
Mulk noted 10-day Abu Dhabi T10 from November 15 to 24 will catch everyone's attention in a better way than T20 cricket. "Any T20 tournament you are looking at minimum 20-30 days in the FTP. So a 10-day tournament is an affordable window. Next year we intend to play for 15 days," Mulk said.
