Cricket is getting more and more entertaining day by day. We see new rules being implemented in various leagues and matches to make the game more interesting. Above all the new rules, there&#8217;s a relatively new format for entertaining all of us and that&#8217;s T10.

T10 format refers to a ten-over format where both teams get only 10 overs to bat. One can say that it is a smaller version of T20s. The first competition using this format took place in December 2017, the opening season of the T10 League in the United Arab Emirates.

England&#8217;s ODI and T20I skipper Eoin Morgan talked about using the format at the Olympics as well. We may very well see T10 in international cricket soon. If that were to happen, which teams would dominate that format?

In the article, we shall be taking a look at 5 international teams that can do well in T10 format:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-468796" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/West-Indies.jpg" alt="West Indies" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-468796" class="wp-caption-text">West Indies.

Not adding West Indies (WI) to this list would be a crime. WI are arguably the greatest T20I side of all time and it won&#8217;t be surprising if they dominate this format as well. One can never underestimate Caribbean muscle irrespective of the format.

WI batsmen are tailor-made for this format and can slog their way through the 10 overs of the game. Their opening combination consisting of the Universe Boss <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4502815366415816" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Gayle</a> and Evin Lewis is a perfect pair to open in a T10 match. Besides, their middle-order consists of players such as Kieron Pollard, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell.

Even if one of them is in good nick, it would ensure that West Indies score a minimum of 50 runs in five overs. The others can manage the remaining five overs and WI are rest assured to get to a good total even if they have a batting collapse. They even have bowlers who can bowl slower deliveries and get wickets as well.

England are easily one of the best teams in the shortest formats of the game. Post the 2015 World Cup, they have paid a lot of attention to ODI and T20I cricket. They are surely going to do good in a ten-over game.

Like India, even England have a lot of talented players to chose from. Picking a T10 side for England would be hard as a lot of deserving players are not going to get a chance in their squad. They have an explosive opening pair in the form of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-jason-roy-arrives-in-chennai-joins-srh-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Roy</a> and Jonny Bairstow.

They have the luxury of either choosing a proper anchor like Dawid Malan, or another hard hitter like Alex Hales. Their middle order and lower middle order would be the best as they would comprise players like Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler.

Buttler could be a floater and play in the top order or in the middle order, as per the situation. Their bowling is impressive as well and their pacers and spinners are really good at choking the opposition.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-497739" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Afghanistan-1.jpg" alt="Afghanistan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-497739" class="wp-caption-text">Afghanistan. (Photo Source: Twitter/Afghanistan Cricket Board)</figcaption>

Now many people might get shocked after seeing Afghanistan on this list. How does a relatively inexperienced team like Afghanistan make it to a list like this? Well, they have a set of players who are suited to this format, and the same can help them excel in T10.

For starters, they have the best spin attack for the shorter formats like T20 and even T10. It gets almost impossible to hit and Rashid Khan and the batsman can&#8217;t just &#8216;Play Him Out&#8217; in this format. This would thus lead to batsmen getting out to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/abhishek-sharma-will-become-a-proper-all-rounder-for-india-in-the-future-rashid-khan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashid Khan</a> more often than not. They also have spinners like Mujeeb ur Rahman, Zahir Khan and Mohammad Nabi to trouble the opposition.

Afghanistan&#8217;s batting is no less. They have raw hitters in the form of Mohammad Shahzad and Hazratullah Zazai who can hit the ball a long way. They also have smart players like Asghar Afghan and again, Nabi. One shouldn&#8217;t be shocked if Afghanistan do manage to dominate this format.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-500943" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/New-Zealand-Cricket-Team.jpg" alt="New Zealand Cricket Team" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-500943" class="wp-caption-text">New Zealand Cricket Team. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

New Zealand always seem to impress one and all, irrespective of the format. Thus, it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising to see them do well in T10 as well. They have a lot of players to choose from as well.

New Zealand have the luxury of hard hitters such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/new-zealand-vs-australia-2021-fifth-t20i-milestones-for-martin-guptill-tim-southees-feat-kane-williamson-unique-ducks-and-more-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martin Guptill</a>, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert, Devon Conway and even Colin Munro and James Neesham for that matter. Their biggest strength is their flexibility and their tendency to shift roles and gears at will. Even someone like Kane Williamson can hit the big sixes occasionally.

Their bowling department is no less. They have world-class bowlers like Trent Boult and Tim Southee. They also have someone like a Lockie Ferguson who can trouble batsmen with his extra pace.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-499960" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/India-win-1.jpg" alt="India win" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-499960" class="wp-caption-text">India.

Indians do well everywhere and in every format. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has helped them identify a lot of T20 specialists. Thus, finding T10 specialists shouldn&#8217;t be a big issue as they have a lot of talent in India.

India have an explosive top order in the form of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and their legend and skipper Virat Kohli. They even have someone like a Shikhar Dhawan who can play the big shots as well. Their middle order consists of fearless players like Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya, who all can hit fours and sixes at will.

Their backup players are superb as well. Besides, they can always turn to players who have delivered in the IPL such as Rahul Tewatia, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-suryakumar-yadav-explains-the-reason-behind-mi-promoting-ishan-kishan-at-no-3-against-pbks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ishan Kishan</a> and Nitish Rana. However, it is their bowling that makes them a worthy contender to dominate this format.

Jasprit Bumrah executes yorkers to perfection and yorkers are considered a boon when one only has a few overs to play. They also have Mohammed Shami who can trouble batsmen with his pace. Last but not the least, they have the best of best spinners available with them.

5 International teams that can do well in the T10 format

Above all the new rules, there's a relatively new format for entertaining all of us and that's T10.T10 format refers to a ten-over format
