We have picked the Top 10 players who will play in the fifth season of the Abu Dhabi T10 after finishing their national assignment at the World Cup.
1. Chris Gayle: The Universe Boss is always an X-factor even at 42 years of age. He has played leagues across the globe and has played with and against almost every cricketer. The sheer power he possesses parts him from the rest. Even though he is not a good nick as of late, it takes only a couple of shots to get him going.
2. Eoin Morgan: The England captain has not been in a good form with the bat if we look at his latest performances. However, he was spot on as a captain for IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in the 14th edition of the T20 League. He led them to the finals and that would have boosted his confidence.

3. Jason Roy: He is among the most explosive batters in world cricket. Jason Roy has the ability to score at a quick pace without comprising his technique. He redeemed SunRisers Hyderbad to an extent in IPL 2021 when he was called to replace David Warner at the top of the order. It will be interesting to see if he continues his dominance in the T10 league as well.
4. Liam Livingstone: The right-hand batter has taken the cricketing fraternity by storm with his six-hitting abilities at will. He was a star in the inaugural edition of The Hundred. Livingstone is also handy with the ball and provides an extra dimension to his team.
5. Nicholas Pooran: The wicketkeeper-batsman captains Northern Warriors and have led them to two title wins in the second and fourth season respectively. He has also topped the run charts. Thus, he becomes a vital cog for his team in the upcoming edition.
6. Qais Ahmed: The Afghan leg break is a rising star. He has taken 95 wickets at an average of 22.25 and boasts an economy rate of 7.09 rpo from 87 T20 matches. He will be a crucial player for Afghanistan at the T20 World Cup and then for his team at the Abu Dhabi T10.
7. Wanindu Hasaranga: The Sri Lankan spinner is among the top spinner in the world at the moment. He has a bit of mystery in the way he delivers the ball and it has helped him a lot in outfoxing batsmen. The slow pitches at UAE will assist the spinner a lot and will provide home-like conditions.

8. Chamika Karunaratne: The 25-year-old all-rounder has proven his ability with both bat and ball. His all-around skills will definitely come in handy when he will take the field during the Abu Dhabi T10.
9. Tymal Mills: The left-arm English pacer has been troubled with injuries over time but his impressive outing in The Hundred earned him a place in England’s T20 World Cup squad. Mills is deceptive at the death with his back-of-hand slower balls and this will help him on UAE pitches.
10. Andre Fletcher: Andre Fletcher is much more than a no-look six-hitter. He is technically correct and possesses the right temperament. It will be interesting to see how he performs at the T20 World Cup and then in the T10 league.
The 32 Players playing in Abu Dhabi T10 will be Nicholas Pooran, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Fabian Allen, Dwayne Bravo, Evin Lewis, Obed Mccoy, Ravi Rampaul, Darren Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Andre Fletcher Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Reece Topley, Liam Livingstone, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy Hazratullah Zazai, Qais Ahmed, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Paul Stirling, Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, Joshua Little Mohammed Saifuddin, and David Wiese.
