Europe finally gets the franchise T20 competition it has been chasing for close to a decade when the European T20 Premier League begins on Wednesday. Jointly run by Cricket Ireland, Cricket Scotland and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association, it is the continent's first ICC-sanctioned league of its kind.
The inaugural season opens with an all-Netherlands affair between Jonty Rhodes' Rotterdam Dockers and Steve Waugh's Amsterdam Flames at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg before the competition relocates to The Village in Dublin on September 9.
The player list gives the tournament immediate weight. Ravichandran Ashwin captains the Rahul Dravid-backed Dublin Guardians, Mitchell Marsh leads the Amsterdam Flames; Glenn Maxwell heads the Belfast Wolves, Mitchell Santner takes charge of Edinburgh Castle Rockers, Scotland's George Munsey captains Glasgow Cosmics and Faf du Plessis leads Rotterdam Dockers.
Steve Smith, Tim David, Trent Boult, Heinrich Klaasen, Liam Livingstone and Paul Stirling are some other big names involved, alongside 36 drafted players from the three host nations.
