UP Nawabs set for debut in Abu Dhabi T10 League

The Abu Dhabi T10 League has added its newest franchise, UP Nawabs, owned by philanthropist and venture capitalist Lavish Choudhary.

The team is set to make their debut in the upcoming eighth season of the Abu Dhabi T10 League, armed with a talented lineup of players including wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Tymal Mills, Andre Fletcher, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, and top-order batter Dawid Malan. The franchise believes the blend of international talent positions the team as a competitive force as they prepare to mark their arrival.

The Abu Dhabi T10 League’s eighth season will be hosted at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, which has become the new home of T10 cricket, offering a platform for rapid 90-minute matches with just 120 balls per game. The format’s immense popularity since its inception in 2017 has established it as a fast-paced spectacle, expected to attract over 100,000 fans this season.

Owner Lavish Choudhary's journey from Ghaziabad and Muzaffarnagar reflects his deep connection to his roots and a lifelong passion for cricket. This new venture allows him to combine his love for the sport with his strategic investment approach to create a team that represents the spirit and resilience of Uttar Pradesh.

Lavish Choudhary, an ardent cricket enthusiast, shared his aspirations for the team: “Cricket has been a fundamental part of my life, and owning a franchise in the AD T10 League is a dream realized. With UP Nawabs, I aim to bring the pride of Uttar Pradesh to the global stage and establish our presence as a formidable contender in the league.”

With Lavish Choudhary’s commitment to excellence and leadership, the UP Nawabs aim to make a significant impact in the tournament and bring pride and recognition to Uttar Pradesh.
