It is no secret that the shortest format of the game has gained popularity for its fast-paced, entertaining and high-scoring nature. Currently, the T20 format is the most popular and widely played format in the globe. Meanwhile, there is also T10 cricket, which is even shorter than the T20 format. Each team gets to play 10 overs where players can showcase their skills in a limited time. Zim Afro T10 tournament is also being introduced to increase the popularity of the 10-over format. In this space, you can find out the Zim Afro T10 2023 squad and teams.

In such a scenario, we can expect quite a lot of drama, spice, excitement, thrills and chills as it evokes aggressive batting. Besides that, there are chances of batters making too many mistakes as well while trying to play shots, thus falling prey to bowlers. Overall, T10 cricket can be well and truly entertaining. Case in point, the Zim Afro T10 cricket league is slowly gaining the attention of late.

For the record, the duration of each game is roughly 90 minutes. The competition is a double round-robin followed by Eliminators and the Final. The Zim Afro T10 cricket league will announce its arrival for the first time in July 2023. The upcoming T10 tournament is founded by Shaji Ul Mulk, the chairman of the T10 League.
