Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler, and Dinesh Karthik are among the well-known cricketers who have signed up for the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10. The Bangla Tigers selected Rashid and Karthik, while the Deccan Gladiators signed Buttler and Marcus Stoinis.
Buttler will join Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, and Maheesh Theekshana, all of whom were retained by Gladiators. Matheesha Pathirana, Theekshana's Sri Lanka teammate, has moved to the New York Strikers.
Strikers, the defending champions, have kept their nucleus of Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein, and Mohammad Amir. The T10 franchise also retained UAE players Muhammad Waseem and Muhammad Jawadullah, who had previously played for Sharjah Warriors in the ILT20.
After retiring from international and Indian cricket, Karthik has signed up for the Abu Dhabi T10, the Legends League 2024, and the SA20 2025 franchise tournaments. The 39-year-old was also named Royal Challengers Bengaluru's batting coach and mentor for the 2025 IPL season.
Shakib Al Hasan will join Karthik and Ireland’s Josh Little at Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10. Trent Boult will reunite with Finn Allen at Northern Warriors while Lockie Ferguson went to Team Abu Dhabi who also signed Jonny Bairstow and Shimron Hetmyer.
The Abu Dhabi T10 League will expand to a ten-team league this season, with Bolts Ajman and UP Nawabs being the new entrants.
Nawabs' latest additions included Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Adil Rashid, while Bolts brought in Jimmy Neesham and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
The Abu Dhabi T10 2024 will take place from November 21 to December 2, avoiding overlap with the Big Bash League (BBL), SA20, ILT20, and New Zealand's Super Smash event.
