\nIn a significant development for cricket around the world, Pro10, spearheaded by cricket legend Ravi Shastri and sports entrepreneur Neeraj Sareen, today announced its groundbreaking international launch bringing professional T10 cricket to Southeast Asia and Europe.
\nThe inaugural season features five franchise teams competing between January 30\u2013February 4, 2026, at Thailand\u2019s world-class Terd Thai Cricket Ground, with West Indies icon Sir Viv Richards serving as Thailand ambassador and a marquee roster including David Warner, Chris Lynn, and George Munsey.
\nPro10 has been envisioned as a catalyst for cricket in emerging regions, pioneering professional cricket in non-traditional Southeast Asian and European markets.
\nNot only does the initiative provide a fast, accessible format that empowers new audiences and aspiring players across Southeast Asia and Europe, but it also serves as a unique platform of structured, professionally run T10 cricket in Thailand, Bulgaria, and Poland.
\nThe marquee competition will provide local players with an opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the finest international players and coaches, giving their development an undeniable boost.
\nThe league is firmly positioned a practical development tool for emerging nations that have limited access to international players.
\nAdding his perspective on Pro10 and the league\u2019s impact on new regions, Sir Viv Richards, Pro10 Thailand Ambassador, said: \u201cCricket grows strongest when it reaches new people, and new communities. Pro10 is doing exactly that by giving Thailand, Bulgaria, and Poland a platform to shine.
\nI am delighted to help guide this journey and to see local talent gain exposure to international players and coaches. This is how the game expands, and this is where the future lies.\u201d
\nSpeaking on the launch and the league\u2019s wider purpose, Ravi Shastri, Co-founder & Partner, said: \u201cPro10 represents cricket\u2019s next evolution: explosive T10 excitement with genuine grassroots development.
\nWe\u2019re creating sustainable ecosystems to develop stars from Thailand, Bulgaria, Poland, and beyond.
\nHaving Sir Viv Richards serving as Pro10 Thailand ambassador and players like David Warner demonstrates the calibre we\u2019re building. The T10 format is perfect for today\u2019s world, showcasing cricket\u2019s incredible global potential.\u201d
\nSharing his perspective on Pro10\u2019s vision and long-term commitment to new cricket markets, Neeraj Sareen, Founder & CEO, said: \u201cPro10 is built from the ground up with sustainability, local talent development, and world-class entertainment. We\u2019re partnering with communities, cricket boards, and institutions to create something truly special.
\nSecuring Sir Viv Richards as Pro10 Thailand ambassador testifies to our vision. With Ravi\u2019s cricket expertise, Roshan Mahanama and Aaron Vedhasinghe\u2019s operational brilliance, we\u2019re building cricket\u2019s future, not just hosting matches.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
