T10 cricket or Ten10 cricket [1] is a short form of cricket. Two teams play a single innings, which is restricted to a maximum of ten overs (60 legal balls) per side, with the game lasting approximately 90 minutes. [2]
The first competition using this format took place in December 2017, the opening season of the T10 League (now known as the Abu Dhabi T10) in the United Arab Emirates. The International Cricket Council (ICC) officially sanctioned the league. [3] In May 2020, Eoin Morgan, the captain of the England cricket team, supported the idea of using the format at the Olympics, [4] [5] with former international cricketers Virender Sehwag and Shahid Afridi also supporting the idea. [6] [7] In June 2022, Cricket West Indies became the first full-member cricket board to start a T10 competition, which is called The 6ixty. [8] Later that year, Sri Lanka Cricket and Zimbabwe Cricket announced plans to start their own T10 competitions in 2023. [9] [10]
T-Ten Sports, the organisers of the Abu Dhabi T10, have helped organise T10 leagues in Zimbabwe and the USA. [11] India hosted the Indian Street Premier League, a tennis ball cricket league, in the T10 format in March 2024, with over ₹1,165 crore (US$140 million) having been spent by the winning bidders in order to own the six teams in the competition. [12]
In 2019, the Caribbean Premier League featured two exhibition women's T10 cricket matches, each played before two of the knockout matches. [14]
In May 2020, Cricket West Indies announced that the first edition of the Vincy Premier T10 League would start on 22 May 2020 [15] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Vanuatu T10 Blast started one day earlier in Port Vila. [16] In June 2020, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced the commencement of the first edition of the PDC T10 League. [17] A number of other minor T10 leagues have been started, such as the Cricket Fiji Vakataukata T10 League [18] and the Malaysia T10 Bash. [19]
T10 cricket is notably shorter than other cricket formats; the shortest format of cricket played at the international level is T20 cricket, in which games are 20 overs per side and last approximately 3 hours. Because of its relative shortness, there is a greater emphasis on fast scoring and hitting boundaries. [30] [31]
There have been various positive and negative reactions to T10 cricket, all largely pertaining to the shortness of the format.
