Organisers of the T10 League have announced the two new teams that will compete in the second edition of the competition in the UAE.

Karachians from Pakistan and Northern Warriors from Indian, were chosen as the new franchises and will join the other six teams in the competition at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in December.

The addition of the new teams means the competition will now be extended to 10 days after the first tournament was played over four days.

Organisers also announced that Team Sri Lanka will be renamed as Rajasthani Heroes, which will be made up of players around the world.

Shaji Ul Mulk, chairman of the T10 League is convinced the second edition will continue to go from strength to strength after its successful debut in 2017.

“We see no competitors, really,” Ul Mulk was quoted as saying on Cricinfo. “T10 was the only tournament that had all packed stadiums [last winter].”

Kerala Kings, led by England captain Eoin Morgan won the 2017 title.
