The 19-year-old spinner will turn out for the Bangla Tigers in the 2021 edition of the league. He is certainly a name to keep an eye on in the upcoming tournament.
9. Chris Jordan
Experienced campaigner Chris Jordan, who has taken over 250 wickets in his T20 career, will feature as the icon player of the Northern Warriors. The bowler has been the main death bowler for his country for more than 2 years and leads the England side in the T20 world cup.

Ingram will render his services for the Deccan Gladiators in the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi league.
7. Jason Roy
The hard-hitting opening batsman Jason Roy is all set to show his ball-striking prowess as the icon player of the Delhi Bulls. The Englishman has smacked over 6,600 runs in his T20 career with a strike rate of well over 140. The world cup winner has been the lynchpin of England’s team since 2015 and would be a destructive force in the tournament.
6. Sunil Narine
His hand plays several tricks with the ball in hand. And, he can also be destructive with the willow when the need arises as well. In short, Sunil Narine is a cricketer who is an asset to any side he plays in limited-overs cricket. Narine will feature for the Deccan Gladiators in the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi League. And, if he can find form, not only will bamboozle batsmen with his guile, he will also strike some lusty blows with the willow.
5. Andre Russell
With over 500 sixes to his name in T20s, the West Indian superstar Andre Russell will feature as the icon player of the Deccan Gladiators. The hard-hitting all-rounder has racked up more than 6,000 runs and 300 wickets in multiple tournaments all around the globe. He is a match-winner on his own and can change the game with his batting.
4. Liam Livingstone
With exuberant hitting and wicket-taking abilities, Liam Livingstone will headline Team Abu Dhabi as its icon player for this season. The English allrounder has the ability to bowl off-spin as well as leg-spin and can strike the ball sweetly to all parts of the ground. The English all-rounder has smashed over 3,900 runs and picked up over 50 wickets in T20 cricket.
3. Imran Tahir
He is 41, but he is surely not done yet. Imran Tahir still has the fire in him to go out and deliver his leg spinners on the cricket field. Tahir is a veteran in T20 cricket. The South African spinner has picked up 63 wickets in T20I’s and has also scalped 80 wickets in IPL cricket.
Tahir will turn out for the Deccan Gladiators in the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 league. And, apart from his leg breaks, and his well-disguised googlies, watch out for that celebratory run of his after he picks up a wicket.
2. Nicholas Pooran
The aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran is primed to set the stage on fire as the icon player for the Maratha Arabians. The West Indian has scored over 3,700 runs in T20 cricket along with taking 108 catches and effecting 17 stumpings. The West Indian has been a key performer not just for the west indies team but for various T20 franchises all around the globe.
1. Chris Gayle
Irrespective of the format and the opposition, Chris Gayle is always a name that will send a shiver down the spine of the opposition. And, during the 2020 edition of the IPL, Gayle was in blistering form. The legendary West Indies batsman scored 288 runs during the tournament and scored his runs at an average of 41.14.
His strike rate too was close to 140(137.14) in the 13th edition of the IPL. If Gayle gets going, then there will be plenty of problems to ponder for all the sides. Gayle will offer his services for Team Abu Dhabi in the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 league.
