Cricketing action appears to be never-ceasing. The T20 World Cup just concluded, and now we are ready for the 5th Abu Dhabi T10 League. The only T-10 format sanctioned by the ICC is ready to kick off from the 19th of November. What are the T10 League squads and players this season? And who are the great names on the list?

The Squads: Evenly matched arsenals and stronger teams this season

Team Abu Dhabi	Liam Livingstone, Paul Stirling, Chris Gayle, Marchant de Lange, Colin Ingram, Phil Salt, Obed McCoy, Danny Briggs, Jamie Overton, Naveen Ul Haq, Fidel Edwards, Chris Benjamin, Rohan Mustafa, Mohammad Faraazzudin, Ahmad Daniyal.	The dangerous Chris Gayle loves to be called the ‘universe boss.’ Liam Livingstone has also been an all-round asset. Irishman Paul Stirling can be dangerous with the bat too.

Faf Du Plesis has always been rock-solid in tough times. Hazratullah Zazai played the entire T20 with an approach of ‘if it’s in the V, it’s in the tree.’
Deccan Gladiators	Evin Lewis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Tom Banton, Andre Russell, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, David Wiese, Najibullah Zadran, Odean Smith, Rumman Raees, Tymal Mills, Zahoor Khan, Ryan Rickelton, Anwar Ali, Nav Pabreja, Izharulhaq Naveed, Sultan Ahmed, Hamid Hassan, Tom Moores, Wahab Riaz, Asif Khan	Andre Russel, David Wiese, and Evin Lewis are known to make big hits.

Eoin Morgan, Rilee Rossouw, and Dwayne Bravo know how to keep the scoreboard ticking. Adil Rashid and Akeal Hosein will be tough to bat against.
Northern Warriors	Chris Jordan, Imran Tahir, Moeen Ali, Rovman Powell, Upul Tharanga, Rayad Emrit, Mark Watt, Samit Patel, Kennar Lewis, Abhimanyu Mithun, Kaunain Abbas, Umair Ali Khan, Rameez Shahzad, Josh Little, Gareth Delany, Yo Mahesh Vijayakumar, Ross Whiteley	Chris Jordan is economical and quick with the bowl. Imran Tahir will cause trouble if the pitch favors the slow bowlers.
Chennai Braves	Nicholas Pooran, Yusuf Pathan, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Munaf Patel, Darren Bravo, Tion Webster, Mark Deyal, Migael Pretorius, Curtis Campher, Dushmantha Chameera, Dhananjaya Lakshan, Mohammad Shahzad, Dasun Shanaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Laxman Majrekar, Khalid Shah, Angelo Perera, Samiullah Shinwari, Roman Walker, Ravi Bopara, Toby Albert	Nicholas Pooran can sometimes go all guns blazing for his team.

The T10 League squads and players give us a gut feeling that the shortest format of cricket will leave us fascinated.
