Scotland will host the inaugural edition of the “Scottish Super 10” in Aberdeen, with Men’s and Women’s tournaments taking place between 16th August to 1st September 2024.

The Scottish Super 10 will become the first international franchise cricket league in Europe outside of England, as Scotland showcases itself as a prominent venue for hosting franchise cricket as well as the powerful cricketing talent the country possesses.

Six men’s franchises – Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth & Dundee – owned and operated by major private corporate houses from around the world will go head-to-head in Aberdeen across 34 T10 matches. The men’s squads will feature top Scottish and international talent, details of which will be announced at a press conference planned in Dubai during the last week of April.

The women’s tournament will feature two franchises with squads of 15 players, in what will be only the second women’s franchise tournament to take place in the UK. The two teams will face each other on the opening weekend – August 16, 17 and 18 – with the bulk of the squads being made up of current Scotland internationals, who’ll compete alongside selected international stars.

Three of the six men’s franchises are already sold, while international superstars planning to take the field in this prestigious event have already begun signing up.

Players already committed to competing in the Scottish Super 10 include Afghan superstars Rashid Khan & Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Zimbabwean all-rounder Sikander Raza, dashing Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah, English batsman Alex Hales, and Kiwi talent Finn Allen.

Rashid Khan – arguably one of the greatest white ball cricketers of all time – said:

“This is really exciting news, and I am looking forward to participating in a European league. The competition will surely bring great mileage to cricket in Scotland, and I congratulate the organizers for this.”

Cricket Scotland has signed an agreement with USA-based “Star 333 Sports” to own full IP, commercial and production rights for the event.

Paul Macari, Cricket Scotland’s 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’s and women’s national stars competing with players from all over the world.”

“It is particularly pleasing to see Star 333 committing to invest in the women’s game in Scotland with a tournament that will grow in the coming seasons.”

Abhishek Shah, Chairman of Star 333 Sports, said:

“We are thrilled to partner up with Cricket Scotland and are committed to ensuring that this will be a great cricketing spectacle for global audiences, providing top notch entertainment, fueled by world-class production values.

“The tournament will feature some of the best men’s and women’s international cricketing talent and will be broadcast on major media platforms across the world. This August we will bring to life Scotland’s first franchise cricket tournament, and the biggest in Europe, outside of England.”

Each men’s team squad will, like in the women’s competition, contain 15 players, with up to nine international players and six Scottish players in each squad. Each team will have two international marquee players while the rest will be selected via a player draft.

Player registrations open on 18 March via the league’s official website – www.scottishsuper10.com.

Nowadays, all news is flowing more in a digital way. People now open Google Newsfeed every morning more than newspapers. This trend has become more pronounced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, most sports coverage these days is increasingly digital.

And as a result of this digitalisation, sports are now crossing the globe. Documentary coverage of sports or interview coverage or news coverage or trending story coverage, all these things are reasonably increasing the audience for sports worldwide. Meanwhile, SportingTwist has emerged as a new face of today’s digitalised sports coverage.

Why SportingTwist Stands Out in The Crowd?

Founded in 2024, this company is a newcomer to the world of sports coverage. Even though it’s new, it’s moving forward on the wings of skill and confidence. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly credible to visitors as the ultimate sporting destination.

It simply exposes trending and breaking news to audiences through in-depth analysis and exclusive interviews. The CEO of SportingTwist says, “Sports is our passion, and we are transforming that passion into a professional journey.”

SportingTwist stands out in delivering real-time sports updates. Moreover, this sports website delivers sports news with in-depth analysis and engaging content to sports fans around the world. Through which it ensures that everyone can gain a unique and immersive sports experience.

This website mainly covers sports news based on several categories, such as premier league, domestic, regional, and international cricket events, tennis, badminton, kabbadi, golf, football, and WWE. With the tagline ‘Experience the twist in sports,’ more than 14,000 users in India are currently getting used to SportingTwist. Not only that but among the many media houses in India, SportingTwist’s average ranking is 78,000.

This website provides 360° coverage of the world of sports, just like 360-degree player Suryakumar Yadav. It tries to bring every special moment of the match, be it the laughter of victory or the pain of defeat, to the audience. Moreover, SportingTwist does not like to mislead its viewers, so it has an in-house team of sports-savvy employees who provide fact-based sports news.

In the era of digitalisation, amidst the flood of misinformation, SportingTwist always strives to present accurate information immaculately. As the ultimate hub for instant sports news and updates, SportingTwist is taking its first small steps toward the future of sports media coverage.

Despite being new to the digital sports market, SportingTwist is exponentially covering each sport with every passing day. The aim is to provide one single platform for all sports information. Be it the oldest sport since the dawn of mankind or an emerging sport, if the audience demands it, the SportingTwist team will supply it.

The team cross-verifies every piece of information, detail, and fact to ensure that the data is one hundred percent accurate and up to date. Quite often, the audience encounters a point where there is no information whatsoever. Thorough research is done so the audience doesn’t leave empty-handed. If it’s not the information, then at the least, you’ll be informed of an expected timeline.

Currently, the team is gearing up to uncover the most awaited cricket competition: the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It’s here after 7 years, and the team will strive to deliver every bit of information to the audience as soon as possible. By now, all the details of the Champions Trophy are on the website.

Latest news or unexpected developments: SportingTwist will already be on top of it. The franchise attempts to be one step ahead in the competition with its resources. Through time, effort and growth, SportingTwist will soon rise above the ranks and redefine sports in the digital era.

Sports news portal 1xBat Sporting Lines has signed a partnership agreement with Desert Vipers and has become the team’s Principal Sponsor in the International League T20 (ILT20) tournament.

The professional cricket league ILT20 was founded in 2022 in the United Arab Emirates under the auspices of the Emirates Cricket Board. According to Zee Entertainment Enterprise, this championship is very popular among Indians – in terms of views, ILT20 is second only to the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“The United Arab Emirates is made for cricket! This country has everything you need – a great climate, modern stadiums, and a cricket-loving audience. As a sports news portal, we put much effort into popularizing cricket outside India. The sponsorship agreement with one of the best teams in ILT20 is a confident step towards achieving our goal. We are happy that our logo will appear on the Desert Vipers’ jersey in the new league season, and even more 1xBat readers in India will learn about ILT20,” said a 1xBat representative.

The competition is held at three venues in the UAE – the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium – in a Twenty20 format involving six squads: Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Dubai Capitals, Desert Vipers, Gulf Giants, MI Emirates, and Sharjah Warriors. The first ILT20 trophy was contested in 2023, with the third season running from 11 January to 9 February 2025.

In the ILT20’s first season, the Desert Vipers finished second, beating the eventual champions, the Gulf Giants, in the first playoff game but losing to them in the final.

“We had a great first ILT20 season and were one step away from winning. 1xBat Sporting Lines believes in our victory in ILT20 2025, and for all players, this is the best motivation before the start of the third campaign! Our team is grateful to 1xBat and hopes the reliable partner’s support will help us win the trophy,” said Phil Oliver, Desert Vipers’ Chief Executive Officer.

Due to the partnership agreement, the 1xBat logo will be featured on the front of Desert Vipers’ playing and training jerseys, as well as on stadium advertising structures, including the LED perimeter board, big screen, logo on dugout header and seats, toss mat, etc. The partners will make collaborative posts on social media, while the logos and links to 1xBat will be placed on the official Desert Vipers website.

Especially for Desert Vipers fans, partners will hold a series of interesting promos with prize draws. Among them are invitations to meet and greet with the squad, as well as jerseys and bats with players’ signatures.

The India cricket team is touring Australia to name the best squad in a 5-match Test series. Shikhar Dhawan, who started his career in the senior national team with the series against Australia in 2010, did not miss the opportunity to support players.

Much to the fans’ regret, Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from cricket this summer, so he will not help the Indian squad on the pitch. However, his vast popularity will allow him to continue popularizing this sport with the support of 1xBat Sporting Lines.

In April, 1xBat signed a contract with Shikhar Dhawan, who became the brand’s official representative in India. Thanks to this partnership, even more cricket fans will be the first to learn the latest news about their favorites on the 1xBat platform. They will also have the opportunity to take part in activities featuring legendary Shikhar Dhawan.

“We are happy to have Shikhar Dhawan as our official partner and brand ambassador. 1xBat supports all of Shikhar Dhawan’s initiatives, and through this partnership, we can inspire the next generation of Indian athletes together,” said a 1xBat representative.

Left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan played on the India national team for 13 long years, appearing in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20 matches. He also captained the country’s main squad 15 times.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shikhar Dhawan can boast 222 games, scoring 6,769 runs. During his career, he has played for popular squads like Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings. In 2016, Shikhar Dhawan became the IPL champion with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The player is currently a co-owner of the South Delhi Superstars team, which performs in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), and is actively involved in the squad’s life and Indian cricket in general. Follow Shikhar Dhawan’s initiatives on the 1xBat Sporting Lines platform!
