One of the most awaited tournaments on the cricket calendar is the Abu Dhabi T10 and season 6. Among the teams is the New York Strikers, who are keen to make a mark in their debut season.The New York Strikers will be mentored by Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard is the captain.Coached by the former English cricketer Carl Crowe, the New York Strikers' squad has players such as Pollard and England's ODI-winning World Cup captain Eoin Morgan. The team, mentored by Yuvraj Singh, is banking on its batting depth at the Abu Dhabi T10 this year.Speaking ahead of the season, coach Carl Crowe was stated as saying by New York Strikers, "One of our goals during the draft was to pick a squad with huge depth batting-wise so you can look at some of the names we bat all the way down the order to 8, 9, 10. Whichever combination we select, so we are happy with the depth rather than necessarily picking out one player."Come the season, the coach will have his task cut out in terms of planning and zeroing in on the playing combinations to make sure the team paints a clear picture of their ambitions."I think the beauty of our squad is a nice balance between youth and experience the likes of Pollard, Wahab, Eoin Morgan. These guys have got brilliant experience in the World Cup Finals in winning, winning important tournaments and playing in all kind of franchise tournaments. We have some nice young players like Tom Hartley and Izharulhaq Naveed who have experience in franchise tournaments and did well," he added.Considered to be the fastest format in cricket, T10 shines the spotlight on the players' ability to get going from the very moment they take the field."You have to get going straight away, and in practice, you're also not easing into it. You have to bat or bowl like you'd do it in the game. One of the exciting bits in T10 for the fans, players and coaches is that the game moves very quickly and in practice, it's essential to replicate that. But, also have to be calm inside your head, and that's where the coaches and the support staff have a big part to play, by making sure there is clarity about the roles, so players can produce a fast brand of cricket with a cool head," he further stated.The New York Strikers are looking to make the kind of impact that is synonymous with the Team. Owner Sagar Khanna is pretty clear about the franchise's plans."What attracted us to UAE is that we wanted to take a step forward from being a franchise owner in the US. So, it seemed to us that the Abu Dhabi T10 is a good platform and good stepping stone, especially since the UAE is the hub of franchise cricket," he said."The long-term vision is to popularize the franchise globally and create a fan base globally too. We are very popular back in the USA and have won multiple championships over there. Our vision is to take the franchise globally, and every fresh challenge is exciting and the T10 format is very exciting too," Khanna added.The new season of the Abu Dhabi T10 will kick off on November 23 with the final on 4th December. The two-week tournament will see international cricket stars compete in a short and exciting 10-over format. The New York Strikers play Bangla Tigers in the first game of the tournament on November 23.New York Strikers Squad: Kieron Pollard, Eoin Morgan, Azam Khan, Paul Stirling, Romario Shepherd, Andre Fletcher, Wahab Riaz, Jordan Thompson, Kesrick Williams, Izharulhaq Naveed, Tom Hartley, Muhammad Waseem, Nav Pabreja, Muhammad Farooq, Akeal Hosein and Ravi Rampaul.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
