The success story of the European Cricket Series (ECS) in Italy was effectively written across Rome, Bologna and Venice.
ECS T10 now moves to Milan where nine top Italian teams will face off against each other across 24 matches over six days, starting Monday, March 5.
The teams are Albano, Bergamo CC, Bergamo United, Bogliasco, Fresh Tropical, Milan CC, Milan Kingsgrove, Milan United and Pioltello United.
Unlike the previous editions of the ECS T10 in Italy, the Milan series has been divided into two groups, with four teams slotted each in Group A and Group B.

While Bergamo CC (runners-up at ECS Rome in September 2020) and Bergamo United (ECS Rome winners in November 2020) are proven teams, five other teams - Fresh Tropical, Albano, Pioltello United, Milan United, Bogliasco and Milan CC - are making their debut in the competition.
Eight teams will battle in group stage matches, while Bergamo United have been directly placed into the second group stage as they won the European Cricket Series Rome in November.
