Dinesh Karthik, Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler confirm participation in 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 league

Several cricket stars like Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler, Dinesh Karthik, and many more have signed up for the upcoming season of the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 league. Bangla Tigers secured the services of Khan and Karthik, whereas Deccan Gladiators roped in Jos Buttler and Marcus Stoinis, respectively.

Following his retirement from international and Indian cricket, Karthik will be keen on putting in his best performance in the tournament. He recently signed up for the Legends League 2024 and the SA20 2025. Furthermore, Dinesh Karthik was also announced as the new batting coach and mentor of Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the IPL 2025.

Apart from Karthik, Shakib Al Hasan will also be joining Tigers alongside Josh Little. Recently, Matt Boucher, CEO of Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub, came forward and talked about the upcoming season. He revealed how excited he was to bring top-class cricket to the fans for another year.

"We're excited to deliver yet another world-class lineup at the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10, which has thrived since we brought the competition to the UAE capital. Abu Dhabi is now a global centre for sport, and the Abu Dhabi T10 - approaching its sixth edition in the emirate - has played a significant part in making that vision of the government a reality,” Boucher was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
