T10 League 2018 – Team Preview: Maratha Arabians
- Updated: November 16, 2018

The Maratha Arabians have a fresh team this year for the T10 League 2018 as they are without both their previous captains. The crown jewel of the Maratha Arabians will, of course, be the Afghan sensation, Rashid Khan. The leg-spinner is ruling the world when it comes to bowling with the white ball and has proved his worth in almost every tournament he has taken part in.
The Pakistani legend Wasim Akram will coach the Maratha Arabians. The swing wizard has been at the helm of international sides and will be crucial in the T10 campaign. Here is how Maratha Arabians line up for the 10-over cricket competition.
Batting unit
Maratha Arabians have the English opener Alex Hales spearheading the batting order. They also the Pakistani wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal who is capable of explosive batting in shorter formats. Hazratullah Zazai is a tantalizing prospect from Afghanistan. Brendan Taylor, Adam Lyth, and James Vince will provide stability.
The all-rounder section of the Arabians is quite strong. They possess Dwayne Bravo, one of the best all-rounders going around in T20 cricket. Van Der Merwe and James Franklin will be handy with bat and ball as well.
Bowling attack
In Rashid Khan, Maratha Arabians have the best T20 bowler in the world. His leg-breaks and googlies have befuddled the greatest of the batsmen, and he remains at the pinnacle when it comes to bowling with the white ball. Lasith Malinga, the master of lethal yorkers, will compliment him and form an incredible pair with the Afghan.
Other than these two, the Arabians will find it difficult to keep the opposition batsmen quiet. They have Bravo and Faulkner who will be effective options but lack the extraordinary skills.
