  • Teams can consist of up to 10 players, with plenty of prizes on offer.

    Corporates can swap the office for the bat and ball and test themselves against their peers in a new and exciting cricket tournament in Dubai.

    The T10 Corporate Cricket competition launches next month at Sportzone, Fitness First Meadows and entry numbers have been very encouraging so far. But you can still join them ahead of Saturday’s (August 20) deadline.

    Sixteen teams will vie for glory in the 10-over group matches on Friday, September 16 and 23, with the top sides advancing to the knockout stages with the title to be decided on October 1st.

    It is the inaugural edition, organised by Fit On Click in partnership with Fitness First at Sportzone and Ben Samuel insists there’s plenty of reasons to sign up.

    “We invite cricket fans from corporates around the UAE  to play the one and only indoor tennis ball corporate tournament where teams will be locking horns and competing against each other,” said Samuel, founder of Fit On Click.

    “Although it’s cricket and prizes can be won, the true vision we want to bring is to improve them individually and as a team, as it can have a positive impact on the company.

    The most important things that we want to achieve is to stimulate teamwork, enhance their confidence, improve the communication and working relationships in the office as well promoting the importance of health and fitness.”

    Players must be aged 18 and over with squads of no more than 10 people. Besides the winning trophy for the champions, there’s plenty to play for with attractive prizes for the top players throughout the tournament.

    Registration fee per squad is Dhs3,500 which includes custom designed jerseys with team logo, award function and after party, and entry passes for friends and family.

    With cricket widely played in the UAE, Samuels is sure the tournament will be huge success.

    “The great thing about this is that you don’t need any playing experience to enter,” he said. “It’s a chance to get together as a team and do something different.

    Cricket is a great team sports and our competition is an exciting and different concept between outdoor and indoor versions.”
