Published on October 17, 2026
Summary Overview: Defending champions UAE Bulls' full 18-man squad for Abu Dhabi T10 2026, with Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Romario Shepherd and Mohammad Amir. All 10 fixtures in UAE time, IST, PKT and ET.
Who are UAE Bulls?
The defending champions. They won their first Abu Dhabi T10 title in November 2025, and they are the only franchise carried over into the new-look 2026 league.
Who are their big names?
Pre-draft signings Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Romario Shepherd. The draft added Mohammad Amir, Shadab Khan, Nuwan Thushara and Andre Fletcher.
When is their first match?
They open the whole tournament on Saturday, November 7 against Yas Lions at 3:30 PM local time (5:00 PM IST, 4:30 PM PKT).
Where do they play?
Every match is at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Story: Champions in a New Era
The Abu Dhabi T10 has been rebuilt for 2026. The league is now owned and run by the Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub, and five new franchises have joined. UAE Bulls are the one team that remains, and as defending champions they get the honour of playing the opening match.
For readers new to the format: in T10 cricket, each team bats for just 10 overs (an over is six legal deliveries), so a game lasts about 90 minutes. There is no time to settle in, so teams want hitters and bowlers who can make an impact straight away.
Last season, the Bulls won the final by 80 runs against Aspin Stallions. But the squad has changed a lot. Final hero Tim David and Rovman Powell are not in this season's squad (Powell is now the icon player of Emirates Eagles). The Bulls have rebuilt around three West Indian all-rounders: Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Romario Shepherd.
The Talking Points
A West Indian All-Round Core
Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Romario Shepherd all bat and bowl. Pollard is one of the most experienced franchise players in the world, Narine can open the batting and bowl tight spin, and Shepherd hits hard at the end of an innings and bowls seam.
Left-Arm Pace From Amir
Mohammad Amir's left-arm swing with the new ball is a big weapon in a format where the first over can set the tone. Nuwan Thushara, Mohammad Wasim Jr and Scotland's Bradley Currie complete a strong seam group.
Pakistan Power in the Batting
Khwaja Nafay, Azam Khan and Khushdil Shah are all big hitters, and Shadab Khan adds leg-spin with his batting. Australia's Max Bryant and West Indies keeper Andre Fletcher give the Bulls aggressive options at the top.
UAE Talent
UAE players Muhammad Rohid and Wali Muhammad give the Bulls local knowledge of the Zayed Cricket Stadium.
