I hope that cricketers that play in this league are actual Qatari people (Born and from Qatar) rather than subcontinent immigrants

I actually think this will be good for Qatar given that 90% of the population is situated in and around doha, and that their main Cricket stadium is located around where most of south-Asian workers live. Theyll fill up stadiums easier than dubai and abu dhabi thats for sure.

U have to realize that there are only 300k citizens, and they are all rich and love football, and only 3 of their nationals are in the football team, so forget about cricket
 
Didn’t him,imad and malik already protested for the UAE league...wonder what happened to that
 
A rich and dazzling assembly of stars is waiting to thrill fans as the ambitious Qatar T10 Cricket League is all set to start at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium on December 7.

Fielding six franchise teams in the League, which has been a long-cherished dream for the hosts Qatar Cricket Association (QCA) under the presidency of Yousef Jeham al-Kuwari, the event is recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and being promoted by International Pro Event.

The 10-day razzmatazz, which will conclude on December 16, will feature Falcon Hunters, Desert Riders, Flying Oryx, Swift Gallopers, Heat Stormers and Pearl Gladiators. South African batting star Hashim Amla leads the star-studded list, which also has players from Pakistan, India, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and England, besides regional and local cricketers.

Other faces that will draw big crowds to the venue include Salman Butt, Sohail Tanveer, Kamran Akmal, Khurram Manzoor, Hussain Talat, Mohamed Shahzad, Mohamed Sami, Sharjeel Khan, Imran Nazir (all from Pakistan), Luke Wright (England), Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Krishmar Santokie, Kennar Lewis (all from West Indies), Shahadat Hussain, Mohamed Naeem Islam (from Bangladesh), Aftab Alam (Afghanistan), Manpreet Singh (India) and Ajantha Mendis (Sri Lanka).

“Today is a big day for Qatar sports in general and a very big occasion for Qatar cricket in particular. We’re fully prepared to start the Qatar T10 Cricket League at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium on December 7,” al-Kuwari at the launch ceremony in Doha.
“It was a big task for us to find the suitable time for this league between the Arabian Gulf Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. We’ll now have the opening on December 7, a day before the Arabian Gulf Cup final and then for 10 days, we’ll host a feast of cricket for its fans all over the world.”

Al-Kuwari also highlighted Qatar’s credentials as a big promoter of international sports. “The league will also showcase Qatar’s passion for sports and its capacity as a big hub of international sporting events. Everything is well set and we’re keen to get going now.”
He added, “Cricket is a major sport in Qatar in terms of players and followers. This league will help us establish this fact further and enable us to elevate the standard of the sport in the country. We’ll try our best to leave an enduring impression on the players and fans all over the world through this league.

“The QCA would like to thank the ICC, promoters, franchise owners and players to make this event possible for us,” al-Kuwari said.
Sajjad Chaudhry, CEO of International Pro Event, said: “We planned and executed everything within 20 days. This year, we’re treating it as the stepping stone. There have been many challenges but we worked our way through. In near future, the world will see and admire our cricket hosting capabilities.

“We’ve also planned a dazzling opening ceremony. I don’t wish to disclose anything right now but there are lots of celebrities coming to take part and make the occasion truly memorable for all of us,” Chaudhry added.

Also present at the launch were team owners, QCA official Eissa al-Yacoub, QCA Operations Manager Manzoor Ahmad, QCA Domestic Cricket Head Gul Khan Jadoon, local senior and junior players, who have been drafted into the six teams.

The Abu dhabi one set a precedent when salman iqbal pulled out. This is the first year for this one, so who knows what the future holds?

Good to see imran nazir getting a chance, felt bad for him after he missed out in abu dhabi.

The standard of T10 Abu Dhabi is very high. There are some real bonafide superstars there and here the only overseas players are Pakistanis and some players from Associates

That’s not true though is it? Hashim Amla, Luke Wright , Andre Fletcher and Johnson Charles are some of the well known cricketer who are part of the league. According to their Wikipedia they also have few other internationals from England, Afghanistan and India. So clearly not just Pakistanis.
 
Former Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz opts out of Qatar T10 League

Pakistan’s former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed will not be able to participate in the Qatar T10 League. The event not being sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which is why the wicketkeeper-batsman was forced to take this decision. Sarfaraz was initially scheduled to depart for Doha on Monday but he opted to stay behind instead. According to sources, even though the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had issued the No Objection Certificate (NOC), it was later realised that no centrally contracted player could participate in a league that is not sanctioned by the sport’s governing board. Although, the Pakistan players who do not have a central contract can participate in the league.

Falcon Hunters vs Swift Gallopers, Final

SGP 85/7 (10.0)
FLH 87/6 (9.5)

Falcon Hunters won by 4 wkts
 
The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed several new investigations are underway following the interception of a number of known corruptors at the Qatar T10 league. The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit was appointed by the organisers as the designated Anti-Corruption official.

Alex Marshall General Manager, ICC Integrity Unit said: “The ICC sanctioned this event 12 months ago based on the sound information provided by the organisers. However substantial changes to both team ownership and the organisers just days prior to the event getting underway rang alarm bells for us and we applied additional investigative resource on the ground to address our concerns.

“As a result we have intercepted a number of known corruptors both in Qatar and globally and disrupted planned corrupt activity at the event. This has given rise to a number of new investigations for the ICC ACU team as we continue in our efforts to ensure cricket is a corruption free sport.”

Wasim Khan speaking at presser

"One of our players was approached at the Qatar T10, he informed the authorities and informed us. That information has been passed on to the ICC. This is what we teach players in our education programmes, as soon as you're approached, you let somebody know. There have been incidents in the past 7-8 months where approaches have been made and players have told the authorities and we have escalated it and handed it over to ICC."
 
And yet the PCB keeps allowing its players to take part in such Leagues.
 
Pakistan’s former medium-pacer Shahid Mahmood, who is the coach of the Desert Riders franchise, has provided information about the suspicious activities of the team’s Indian owner, during the recently concluded Qatar T10 League to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

A player, from the Mahmood-coached Desert Riders franchise, had also earlier notified the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of suspicious activities during the league. It should be noted that all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez and fast-bowler Sohail Tanvir represented the franchise during the tournament. The International Cricket Council’s (ICC’s) anti-corruption unit is still investigating the incident. Both the ICC and the PCB have refrained from making a comment in this regard. According to details, the Qatar T10 league was played in the previous month under the shadow of a fixing scandal. Apart from Hafeez and Tanvir, batsmen Salman Butt, Kamran Akmal and Sohaib Maqsood along with fast-bowler Umar Gul took part in the tournament.

The ICC announced during the event that they were investigating suspicious activities as the changes in team owners and organisers raised a red flag for the officials. This is why further investigations were initiated. The ICC claimed that the presence of corrupt individuals during the event made the league controversial.

PCB’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wasim Khan, while talking to the media, revealed that a Pakistan player was approached by a bookie but he reported the matter to the board immediately. Shahid Mahmood is also currently serving as Qatar’s national team coach and head of development.

He has played one Test in which he took two wickets and 10 One-day Internationals (ODIs) in which the former medium-pacer has seven wickets.

Yet, you will see the PCB giving NOCs to their players for any future T10 League in any country.

Ridiculous.
 
DEEPAK AGARWAL BANNED FOR TWO YEARS

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has banned Deepak Agarwal from all cricket for two years, with six months of that suspended, after he accepted one charge of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

Agarwal was charged as a participant under the Code due to the fact he was one of the team owners of the Sindhi’s franchise in the 2018 T10 Cricket League. The charge is as follows:

Article 2.4.7 – obstructing or delaying an investigation, including concealing, tampering with or destroying any documentation or other information that may be relevant to that investigation and / or that may be evidence of or may lead to the discovery of evidence of corrupt conduct under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

Under the provisions of the Code, Mr Agarwal chose to admit the charges and agreed the sanction with the ICC in lieu of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing. Subject to him satisfying conditions in respect of the suspended part of the sanction, he will be free to resume his involvement in the game on 27 October 2021.

Alex Marshall, ICC General Manager – Integrity said: “There were a number of examples of Mr Agarwal obstructing and delaying our investigations and it was not just a one off occurrence. However, he made a prompt admission of his breach of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code and continues to provide substantial assistance to the ACU in relation to several investigations involving other participants. This cooperation is reflected in his sanction.”
 
The International Cricket Council (ICC), on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), has charged former West Indies player Marlon Samuels with breaching four counts of the ECB Anti-Corruption Code for Participants of the T10 League (the ‘Code’).

Mr Samuels has been charged with the following offences under the Code:

A breach of Article 2.4.2 – Failing to disclose to the Designated Anti-Corruption Official, the receipt of any gift, payment, hospitality or other benefit that was made or given in circumstances that could bring the Participant or the sport of cricket into disrepute.

A breach of Article 2.4.3 - Failing to disclose to the Designated Anti-Corruption Official receipt of hospitality with a value of US $750 or more.

Breaches of Article 2.4.6 – Failing to cooperate with the Designated Anti-Corruption Official’s investigation.

Breaches of Article 2.4.7 – Obstructing or delaying the Designated Anti-Corruption Official’s investigation by concealing information that may have been relevant to the investigation.

Mr Samuels has 14 days from 21 September to respond to the charges. The ICC will not make any further comment in respect of these charges at this stage.

==

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has been made aware of the charges which have been laid by the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, involving former West Indies player Marlon Samuels. Formal charges have been laid with breaching four counts of the Emirates Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Code for participants of the T10 League in Abu Dhabi in 2019.

While CWI has yet to receive detailed information relating to this ICC investigation, CWI remains firm in denouncing any such activities within the sport, and fully supports the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit in their efforts to rid the sport of all corruption.

While this ongoing investigation continues, CWI will not make any further comment in respect of these charges.

Samuels is one of the shadiest character in the history of the game!
 
Former West Indies cricketer Marlon Samuels will contest recent charges made against him under the ICC anti-corruption code.

The 40-year-old former batsman retired from the sport in 2020 but was charged by the ICC on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) for breaching the anti-corruption code during his participation in the 2019 T10 league.

Samuels was charged on four counts of breaching the code relating to:

A breach of Article 2.4.2 – Failing to disclose to the Designated Anti-Corruption Official, the receipt of any gift, payment, hospitality or other benefit that was made or given in circumstances that could bring the Participant or the sport of cricket into disrepute.

A breach of Article 2.4.3 - Failing to disclose to the Designated Anti-Corruption Official receipt of hospitality with a value of US $750 or more.

Breaches of Article 2.4.6 – Failing to cooperate with the Designated Anti-Corruption Official’s investigation.

Breaches of Article 2.4.7 – Obstructing or delaying the Designated Anti-Corruption Official’s investigation by concealing information that may have been relevant to the investigation.

Samuels who had 14 days to contest the charges has since hired legal representation and informed the ICC of his intent to content the allegations brought against him.

The problem with these meaningless money spinning leagues is exactly that - they are ALL about money and NOTHING else.

At least international cricket has the added aspect of representing your country. Domestic cricket you are representing your region and trying to represent your country at some point. Leagues like IPL, PSL, CPL etc you are again on the world stage (as in there is global interest), and there is some added dimension to it.

But these random T10 leagues literally have no other purpose other than money. So obviously there is going to be corruption.

Ten Sports Management statement on ICC charges

19th September 2023: T Ten Sports Management expresses disappointment over the charges levied against eight participants of the 2021 T10 tournament held in the UAE.

We take all allegations of this nature seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of corruption. We will continue to work closely with the ICC on our calendar of T10 tournaments and do everything within our control to ensure the integrity of cricket is upheld.
 
Sunny Dhillon has been banned from all cricket for six years after an Anti-Corruption Tribunal found him guilty of breaching the Emirates Cricket Board’s (ECB) Anti-Corruption Code.

Dhillon, a former assistant coach of a franchise team, was among eight people charged last year for breaching the Code.

The charges relate to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League and attempts to corrupt matches in that tournament which were disrupted by the ICC, the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) for the purposes of the ECB’s Code for the tournament.

Following a full hearing and presentation of written and oral argument, the Tribunal found Dhillon guilty of:

Article 2.1.1 – Being party to an attempt to fix, contrive or influence improperly matches or aspects of matches in the Abu Dhabi T10 2021.

Article 2.4.4 - Failing to disclose to the DACO full details of any approaches or invitations received to engage in Corrupt Conduct under the Code.

Article 2.4.6 – Failing or refusing, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation carried out by the DACO in relation to possible Corrupt Conduct under the Code.

The ban is backdated to 13 September 2023, when Dhillon was provisionally suspended.
