Zaheer Khan: co-owner of the Antwerp Anchors

EUT20 Belgium Cricket League Launches with Zaheer Khan as Co-Owner

The EUT20 Belgium Cricket League has announced its inaugural season with former World Cup winner Zaheer Khan joining as a co-owner of the Antwerp Anchors franchise, signaling a major push to establish professional franchise cricket in continental Europe.

The league is scheduled to run from June 6 to June 14, 2026, across Belgium with six city-based franchises sanctioned by the Belgian Cricket Federation. Zaheer Khan brings significant global credibility to the Antwerp Anchors, while West Indies star Andre Russell has been confirmed as a player to attract international audiences. The tournament aims to bridge the gap between Europe's existing cricket communities and the global professional landscape through a centralized structure that manages operations and media rights.

This initiative aims to fill a gap in the global cricket map by introducing a structured, professional T20 league in Europe, leveraging star power and existing local passion to build a long-term pathway for the sport's growth on the continent.
