Capital FX Global Crowned Champions as Eight Corporate Franchises Compete in Two-Day Tournament in Ajman.
AJMAN(News Desk): The second season of the Infinity Corporate Cricket League (ICCL) has successfully concluded at Seven Districts Ground in Ajman, bringing together companies, business professionals, entrepreneurs, families and cricket enthusiasts from across the United Arab Emirates.
Founded by Muzammil Sheikh (Muzi) and co-founded by Shahzad Ahmad, ICCL Season 2 was organised with the vision of using cricket as a platform to connect members of the UAE’s corporate community, encourage professional networking and promote team spirit.
The two-day tournament was held on 19 and 20 September 2026 at Seven Districts Ground, Ajman, with matches beginning from 9:00pm onwards. The competition featured an action-packed five-overs-per-side format, with matches being played simultaneously on two grounds.
Eight corporate franchises participated in the second edition of ICCL, representing a diverse range of organisations operating in the UAE. The participating teams were Saudi German Health, Aramex, XAD Technologies, Fly Light Group, Ajman Bank, Capital FX Global, Vini Ki Rassoi and ABB.
Capital FX Global Take the Championship
After a competitive series of matches, Capital FX Global secured the ICCL Season 2 championship title. The winners were awarded AED 8,000 in prize money, along with a customised trophy and medals.
XAD Technologies finished the tournament as runners-up and received AED 4,000, together with a trophy and medals.
The final stages of the tournament attracted considerable interest from corporate professionals and cricket fans, with the participating teams competing in a fast-paced format that placed emphasis on teamwork, strategy and execution.
Successful Opening and Live Draw
The second season officially gained momentum following an opening ceremony and live team draw held at Pindi Boys Restaurant in Dubai.
The draw brought representatives and supporters together ahead of the tournament and provided an opportunity for participating franchises to interact and prepare for the competition.
The organisers said the event was designed not only around cricket but also around creating an environment where professionals from different sectors could meet, interact and develop business relationships.
More Than Just Cricket
ICCL has developed its concept around the philosophy of “Connect • Collaborate • Compete,” seeking to combine sporting competition with corporate networking.
The league provides employees and corporate representatives with an opportunity to step away from the conventional workplace environment and participate in a team-based sporting experience. At the same time, the tournament enables companies to increase interaction with other organisations and gain visibility among a wider professional audience.
With its motto “Where Business Meets Cricket,” ICCL aims to establish corporate cricket as a platform for relationship-building, team development and professional engagement in the UAE.
Strong Community Participation
The tournament attracted more than 1,000 corporate professionals, families and cricket fans, reflecting strong interest in corporate sporting activities and cricket within the UAE community.
The presence of families and supporters added a community dimension to the tournament, turning the competition into a broader social and networking gathering rather than simply a sporting event.
Sponsors and Partners
The organisers acknowledged the contribution of the sponsors and partners whose support helped make the second season possible.
The sponsors and partners included Saudi German Health, Vini Ki Rassoi, National Bank of Pakistan, H&Z Fashions, AD Zone, DTEX House, Daud Mirza Mobile, Smart World Real Estate and Noor Al Madina Real Estate.
Their involvement reflected the growing connection between corporate businesses, community initiatives and sporting events in the UAE.
Building a Corporate Sporting Platform
ICCL describes itself as a corporate sporting platform designed to bring together businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs through cricket.
The league seeks to create an environment where participants can develop team spirit while also expanding their professional networks. The organisers see corporate cricket as an effective way of encouraging collaboration between companies and creating opportunities for meaningful interaction beyond the workplace.
The successful completion of Season 2 marks another step in the development of ICCL and its efforts to establish a regular corporate cricket platform in the UAE.
With its combination of competitive cricket, corporate participation, networking and family engagement, ICCL continues to promote its central message: “Where Business Meets Cricket.”
