Khaleej Times
|July 06, 2026
Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub (ADCSH) has announced the opening of the Global Invitation-to-Bid (ITB) for team and franchise ownership in the Abu Dhabi T10 - a competitive bidding process that marks a significant milestone in the tournament’s evolution under Abu Dhabi’s new governance structure.
The ITB process, which opened on July 3 and closes on July 16, 2026, represents the next major step in delivering the vision announced earlier this year, when ADCSH, supported by Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), assumed majority ownership and stewardship of the tournament.
