#3 Inaugural UAE T20x called off
The first edition of the UAE T20x has been cancelled due to the lack of buyers. The tournament attracted buyers only for two out of the planned five franchises. The inaugural edition which was supposed to be held in December had already announced its star players. In fact, five icon players (Eoin Morgan, David Miller, Andre Russell, Shahid Afridi and Kumar Sangakkara) were revealed. The first season was supposed to hold 22 matches over the course of three and a half weeks in December.

The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) released a statement which revealed the tournament has been called off. “Whilst negotiations had been completed on two franchise teams and a further three were well advanced, it was felt that there was no longer sufficient time to close the sales process and to successfully deliver and promote a December event,” the statement read.
This UAE T20x is the second T20 league hosted by an Associate Nation to be cancelled. Earlier this year, Hong Kong T20 Blitz was also called off and it was rescheduled to 2019.
