T10 Cricket League: 5 reasons why T10 is here to stay

#5 A chance for Cricket to become a global sport like Football

How about Spain playing high-profile cricket?

One of the fundamental ideas of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is to make the sport global. Only 12 countries have attained Full-member status so far in a sport which has been extremely active since the 19th century. Despite being the second most popular sport in the world, Cricket is dominant in only Asia, UK, Australia and some parts of Africa. It is yet to find its way in North American, South American and Eastern European market.

We have all witnessed what T20 cricket has done for the globalization of the game. Teams like Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Afghanistan, UAE have used the T20 format to come through the ranks. How about further expanding cricket's portfolio? How about popularizing the game in countries like USA, Russia, Germany?

T10 will surely help ICC in their globalizing agenda. This 90-min format will be rightly received in the non-cricketing regions. Promoting T10 league in these regions will help the want-to-be cricketing nations make a fast-track entry into recognized cricket sooner than later.
