Abu Dhabi [UAE], October 14 : The New York Strikers, one of the new teams, to have joined the Abu Dhabi T10 bandwagon, have announced their squad for the sixth season.

Speaking on the occasion, Sagar Khanna, Team Owner of New York Strikers, said, "I hope the New York Strikers team will produce some scintillating cricket in Abu Dhabi T10's sixth season. We have a great squad which is raring to go and it is full of power and guile, just like the national animal of India, the Tiger. We hope to see the Tiger-like approach in the tournament in Abu Dhabi, and nothing would make me happier if that roar is coupled with the message of unity, which is a must in team sport."
