I smell a rat here. Something about this format is just suspicious to me.

No-one asked for this shit. How about we focus on the formats of international and financial significance? If true, ZC morons are dumber than I thought

So many questions and concerns.

The only reason ZC would look at this is the promise of the hundred of millions which you can bet most of it will find its way into pockets and not the game.

This stinks.

The Abu Dhabi T10 is arguably the shadiest league in the world. You don’t have to do much research to find some shady goings on there. The only purpose is to serve bettors in the sub continent.

It’s gross. I don’t want it.

T10 is a disaster of a format and as rightly said by you all it is always vulnerable to betting. No way ZC should look at this. Better off not playing than playing this shit.

The guy talking to him is Paul Tempter Tungwarara who is the ZYPSOT president, Dubai based, and has also been appointed by prophet Passion Java to head up a micro lending scheme for Zimbabwe youths.

I'm not sure how far this will all go, but if it does kick off its going to be interesting watching it roll out. Any international exposure is better than nothing isn't it? What could go wrong?

Surely with Prophet Java's blessing we should do well? This is something we should have considered way back.

I think ZC are also skeptical. They have made so much progress getting back into the ICC good books. 1 more scandal might too much to handle

If it happens, its great for Zimbabwe, plenty of hard hitting and aggression is required in modern day shorter format cricket.
