A NEW\u00a0franchise Cricket league bringing a host of international stars, including a World Cup winner, is coming to Aberdeen in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Scottish Super 10 will see teams for Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Perth compete in a total of 34 T10 matches, all of which will take place in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full men’s squads will be announced in Dubai during the last week of April, but T20 World Cup winner Alex Hales is one of a number of names to have been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women’s tournament will feature two franchises of 15 players, with the bulk of the squad being made up of current Scotland internationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event takes place at the end of the Scottish cricket season, between August 16 and August 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul Macari, Cricket Scotland\u2019s Head of Operations and Commercial, said: “We are delighted to see franchise cricket coming to Scotland this summer. The Scottish Super 10 will bring a fast and exciting format of the game to Scotland and we look forward to our men\u2019s and women\u2019s national stars competing with players from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is particularly pleasing to see Star 333 committing to invest in the women\u2019s game in Scotland with a tournament that will grow in the coming seasons.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rashid Khan, one of the world’s best bowlers, is the headline name appearing at the event thus far. He said: “This is really exciting news, and I am looking forward to participating in a European league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The competition will surely bring great mileage to cricket in Scotland, and I congratulate the organisers for this.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
