Would be great to see more Indian cricketers in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, asserts Robin Singh
Former Indian cricketer Robin Singh has wished that in the future more Indian cricketers will play in the Abu Dhabi T10 league. Currently as the Board of Cricket Control India do not let their players participate in any foreign leagues, none of the current players feature in the Abu Dhabi T10.
Former Indian cricketer Robin Singh has had a lot of success as a coach in the shorter formats of the game and it was no different when he took up the role as a coach for the Northern Warriors outfit in the Abu Dhabi T10. The team emerged champions in the second season and Robin is eager to defend the title in the third edition of the league which is set to begin on 14 November 2019.
“We have a very well balanced team this time and we are looking forward to defend the title this season. We hope to play some exciting cricket like we did last season and hopefully we have success. Our team management is very supportive and they have been a source of encouragement from last season,” said the 56-year-old.
Robin feels temperament is critical to being successful in the T10 format. “You need great skill to be successful and you also need to fearless. Every player needs to think on his feet to execute their plans. Bowlers also need to have a lot of guts since the game is loaded in favor of the batsman,” added the former Indian cricketer.
As the Board of Cricket Control India do not let their players under contract participate in any foreign leagues, none of the current crops of Indian players feature in the Abu Dhabi T10. “It would be nice to have more Indian players if they are allowed to play by BCCI,” said Robin.
Talking about Abu Dhabi as a destination for cricket, the Tamil Nadu cricketer said, “Abu Dhabi already has a great history with the sport and we are looking forward to enhancing that even further with their support,” added Robin.
